Volunteer

Volunteering is a great way to meet new people, support something you care about, learn new skills, and foster a sense of community connectedness. Giving not only helps others, but it can also be gratifying and health enhancing. Look for ways to get involved locally or beyond. Some resources are below:

• Perkins School for the Blind

• Project Literacy

• Watertown Farmers' Market 

• Watertown Helps Out (annually in May)

• Watertown Public Library

• Explore other opportunities through Watertown Business Coalition Volunteer Hub 

• Consider applying for a city board/commission seat City Manager's office
