Volunteer

From time to time, there are opportunities to volunteer directly with the Borough.  The Borough allows and encourages service to the Borough by individual volunteers or organizations in a manner that benefits the Borough and protects the safety and welfare of all concerned.  The Borough places great importance on creating a secure environment for youth that are served by Borough volunteers, and any youth volunteers serving the Borough.  To maintain this secure environment, the Borough has policies and procedures that must be adhered to by all volunteers.
