Volunteers
The County of Riverside has a wide array of volunteer opportunities. County departments independently administer their own volunteer programs. For this reason, the Human Resources Department does not accept applications from volunteers. Instead, volunteers submit applications directly to the department where they wish to volunteer.
Below are links to some programs administered by County departments and agencies. You can find information on how to apply at these links. County departments not listed below may also have a volunteer service program. You are welcome to contact other departments to inquire about any volunteer opportunities. A directory of departments is located on the County of Riverside's official website.
For information about internships, visit the Educational Support Program website.
