Every volunteer makes an impact.
There's a lot that goes into keeping downtown great. Volunteers make it possible. Come help.
Get Involved
Our Main Street committees are one of the best ways to contribute to downtown Walla Walla. Each committee focuses on a specific area of work: design, economic vitality, outreach, and promotion. We welcome community members, business owners, and partners who want to help.
Time commitment: Committees meet once a month for about an hour, with occasional project work in between depending on what's active.
We also have event-based volunteer opportunities throughout the year.
