Volunteer Opportunities

The Town of Belmont is always looking for interested residents to fill certain volunteer positions. Please look below to see which opportunities are currently available.

  • Spotlight Photographer: We need pictures of Belmont for use on our website and in Town Publications. Credit will be given to the photographer. Please send digital copies of any pictures you would like to submit via email to the Select Board.
  • Eagle Scouts / Community Service: Students enrolled in Eagle Scouts and other programs are required to perform community service projects. Various Town Departments will sometimes have opportunities for students to earn these hours. If you are interested in volunteering, please email the Select Board.

Boards & Committees

Residents are needed for a variety of volunteer committees. The time commitment and required skills vary from committee to committee. Appointments are typically made during the summer or as vacancies arise. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis and kept on file for one year.


Belmont Town Clerk's Office Opportunities

If you are interested in community service, consider the Town Clerk's office, as we are often in need of volunteers to help with filing and alphabetizing our records. The current jobs available include alphabetizing and filing the census forms, filing voter registration, organizing pet vaccination certificates among other duties.

The business hours are Monday, 8 am to 7 pm; Tuesday through Thursday, 8 am to 4 pm; and Friday, 8 am to noon. Please feel free to stop in prepared to work; you're welcome to bring friends as well as your phone or iPod to listen to music. We usually schedule volunteers in a separate room so music and chatter are no problem. You may come during our business hours based on your own schedule, no advance notice is required. Our location is inside the Town Hall on ground level.

Job Responsibility

The work consists of alphabetizing and filing different types of documents that are written in English. For students who have never filed anything before, we will start you with the "low risk" items and progress to more important items, depending upon your skill and our perception of your capability. If you are recording community service for Belmont High School, please be certain to sign in on the volunteer service pad when you come in so that we can keep track of your hours.
