No. All volunteers must apply in advance. You must be registered in advance to volunteer for a specific event; you may not just show up at that event/training. We ask for a specific number of volunteers to ensure a positive experience for all.

4. How old do I have to be to volunteer with the City of Farmington?

People of all ages may volunteer. Young people, under age 18, can volunteer provided that the work does not pose a threat to their health or safety or violate Federal or State child labor laws or the policies of the agency’s volunteer program. All volunteers under the age of 18 must submit a signed parent/guardian permission form with their application.
