Volunteer Opportunities

There are several opportunities to volunteer in the community. 
CERT Team - Emergency Management

The Mission of the CERT Program is to educate our residents about disaster preparedness for hazards that may impact our area and provide training for basic disaster response skills. (Search and Rescue, Disaster Medical Operations, Team Organization & Leadership.)
Westerly CERT Community Emergency Response Team
Shelter Volunteer - Animal Shelter

Enjoy a wagging tail, a purr, and a smile?
You'll never find a more grateful and accepting friend than an animal that you've cared for and comforted.
If you're interested in making a difference in an animal's life and your community, stop by the shelter or email us at: asmith@westerlyri.gov
Volunteers are always welcome! (volunteers under the age of 16 need to be accompanied by an adult)
The most precious gift you can give to an animal is your time.
