Getting Involved
- Volunteer with the Council on Aging or the library, both of which lean on residents to run programs.
- Serve on a town board. Many of Berkley’s boards and commissions are staffed by volunteers appointed by the Board of Selectmen.
- Show up to Town Meeting. The most direct community organization in Berkley is the meeting itself, where every registered voter has a vote.
