MAMARONECK, NY (September 12, 2025) — The Town of Mamaroneck is seeking qualified residents to volunteer for positions on the Board of Architectural Review as an alternate, the Sustainability Collaborative, the Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department and as volunteer EMTs with the Volunteer Ambulance Corps.
The Board of Architectural Review consists of five members, each serving a three-year term. Established in 1990, the board reviews exterior plans or modifications to all structures except one- or two-family houses. Members must be specially qualified by training or experience in architecture, land development, city planning, real estate, landscape architecture, professional property values or other relevant business or profession, or by civic interest and sound judgment to assess the effects of proposed buildings or alterations on property values and surrounding areas. Meetings occur on the third Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m.
The Sustainability Collaborative serves as a volunteer committee advising the town on environmental issues. Volunteers have contributed to projects on electric vehicles, solar power, clean energy in homes, food scrap recycling and bike lanes, provided input on legislative initiatives and helped the town achieve bronze-certified status as a New York State “Climate Smart Community.” The group organizes events including the annual Repair Café, Compost Giveaway Day and Tree Walks. Meetings are generally held on the first Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. at the Mamaroneck Senior Center, and all are welcome to attend.
The Town of Mamaroneck Fire Department is recruiting volunteers age 14 or older. To learn more, residents can call 914-834-2192 and press 3.
The Volunteer Ambulance Corps seeks new members age 17 or older, with no prior experience necessary. Volunteers include teachers, contractors, business professionals and others who fill shifts around their schedules to ensure 24/7/365 ambulance response. The corps handled over 1,700 calls in 2023, often deploying two ambulances simultaneously multiple times a week. Financial contributions are also welcome.
