Volunteer Center of Santa Cruz County

All VIP internships and volunteer opportunites are unpaid positions designed to give students, graduates and interested community members exposure to aspects of local government.


The Volunteer Initiative Program  matches interested community members with volunteer internships throughout the Santa Cruz County Government. We work with all County departments including the District Attorney's Office, the Health Services Agency, Law Library, Women's Commission, Personnel, Parks, Probation, the Sheriff Office and many more. There are ongoing internship opportunities and special project positions available within various county departments.

A volunteer opportunity or volunteer internship is an ideal way to gain skills, update your resume and help County Government to serve our community. 

Individuals should complete an application and submit a cover letter and resume that clearly expresses your area of interest.
