Get involved: volunteer for a town board or committee in Reading

Do you have skills, passion, or just a little free time? The Town of Reading is calling on residents to step up and help shape the future of our community by serving on a local board, committee, or commission.

Whether you’re interested in the arts, environmental issues, local planning, or public service, there’s a place for you to get involved and make a difference. Volunteering is a rewarding way to connect with fellow residents, learn more about how local government works, and help guide the decisions that impact Reading’s future.

Open to all

You don’t need prior experience to contribute - just a willingness to serve and commitment to your community. Some groups meet monthly, others quarterly, and some only as needed. It’s a great opportunity for residents of all backgrounds and skill levels to get involved in meaningful ways.
