Why Volunteer...
The City of Del Mar is one of the most scenic, beautiful, and protected communities along the coast of California. The Del Mar Community Plan outlines the village character that residents envisioned when they helped craft the Plan to protect and maintain that character. Our residents are highly-educated and involved, and bring a high degree of expertise to the committees and organizations they join. Be a part of that energy, get to know your neighbors and community, and help promote and protect the beautiful City of Del Mar.
How to Volunteer ...
Vacancies are advertised on the City's website as well as in the local newspaper. Interested residents should obtain the City Council resolutions describing the committees they are interested in, fill out a 
Citizen Interest Form and file it with the City Clerk. For more information, please view the City Advisory Committee section of the City website or contact the City Clerk Department at (858) 755-9313 or cityclerk@delmar.ca.us.
