We are offering in-person volunteering for the Summer 2025 Junior Volunteer Program to run from Monday, June 9 to Friday, August 1. The dates for this 8-week program are selected based on the Charlottesville/Albemarle Public School calendars.

If you'd like to apply, you must submit an application of interest by February 28, 2025, and attend a virtual mandatory information session. The mandatory information session is required for all interested applicants to learn more about the program and see if this is a good fit for your summer schedule. Use this form to state your interest

The mandatory in-person information sessions are:

  • Saturday, March 8, 10 a.m. - 11 a.m. 
  • Tuesday, March 11, 7 p.m. - 8 p.m.

You only have to attend one of these and must select a date when you complete the application of interest.

All summer junior volunteers must attend an all-day orientation and training on Monday, June 9. If you cannot make this date, do not submit your name in the lottery because you will not be able to volunteer.
