Downtown Chapel Hill's success is directly proportional to the human and financial resources that are invested in downtown. Time is money and your time is highly valued by the Chapel Hill Downtown Partnership.  There are more than fifty volunteers working with the Chapel Hill Downtown partnership on a volunteer basis. They represent downtown property and business owners, downtown employees, the Town of Chapel Hill staff and elected officials, University staff and students, downtown residents, and the community-at-large. All volunteers willing to give their time to downtown are welcome.

Volunteer opportunties are available throughout the year either on a year-round, monthly basis, such as a work group, or on a project-by-project basis. There are opportunities to volunteer both during the week and on the weekends. Contact the CHDP at 919-967-9440 partnership::downtownchapelhill.com for more information (please replace the :: in the email address with @).
