West Chester is a community with heart!

There are many opportunities for residents to become involved in the community through volunteerism. Organizations such as The Community Foundation of West Chester/Liberty, Reach Out Lakota and others provide countless opportunities to support the residents and families of West Chester.

West Chester Township encourages residents to help these local efforts, but also offers a few volunteer programs/opportunities throughout the year that may also be of interest.
