Become a Volunteer with the City of Antioch Youth Services Network

Volunteering with the City of Antioch is more than just donating your time—it’s about helping shape a stronger, more connected community. Whether you’re a young person looking to give back or an adult eager to support local youth, your service makes a real difference.

Why Volunteer?

Our Youth Services Network is built on collaboration, compassion, and a shared commitment to uplifting Antioch’s next generation. Volunteers play a vital role in:

  • Supporting youth programming and special events
  • Mentoring, guiding, and inspiring young people
  • Creating safe, welcoming spaces for learning, creativity, and community
  • Contributing to solutions that help reduce violence and build opportunity

Whether you have a few hours a month or want to be more hands-on in youth development, there’s a place for you here.

Your Journey Starts Here

To ensure the safety and well-being of all participants, all volunteers over the age of 25, with the City of Antioch, must complete a background clearance process. Once cleared, you’ll be ready to join a network of change-makers who are building a brighter future for Antioch—one act of service at a time.
