Bellevue's dedicated corps of citizen volunteers is an essential part of what makes this city great. More than 8,000 people volunteer their services for the city each year and outnumber city employees by more than six to one. There are many opportunities with varying time commitments, skills and work focus. A volunteer plants a tree at annual Bellevue's Arbor Day event.

Partners Needed
In addition, the City of Bellevue is committed to promoting communitywide volunteerism through organizations that provide benefit to Bellevue and its citizens. The city routinely partners and works closely with these organizations on projects and ongoing programs. If your organization has an interest in partnering with Bellevue, please e-mail volunteer program coordinator Shelly Shellabarger or call her at 425-452-5375.
