Long-term Volunteer Opportunities
To join long-term volunteer opportunities for the Community Services Department, you must first attend an orientation. Orientations are typically held on the third Monday of the month at 6:30 pm in the Corona Public Library’s Francis Aldama Martinez Community Rooms.
Please note: All prospective volunteers must pass a background check, including those under 18. This process can take 4-6 weeks. Please plan ahead. The City of Corona cannot accept court-referred or school-mandated volunteers who need to complete their hours to meet disciplinary requirements.
In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, if you need special assistance to participate in this orientation, please contact the ADA Coordinator at 951-739-4823. Notification 48 hours prior to the event will enable the City to make reasonable arrangements to ensure accessibility to this program.
