BECOME A VOLUNTEER
Looking for a Way to Give Back?
Whether you're earning service hours or just want to get involved, volunteering with the Ojai Independence Day Committee is a great way to support our beloved small-town traditions!
Many people don’t realize that our entire committee is run 100% by volunteers—no one gets paid, and every event we organize is made possible through the hard work and dedication of community members like you.
We're always looking for extra hands—from leadership roles to helping along the parade route, or assisting at the fireworks show. No matter how big or small the task, your time and energy make a difference.
It's important to note that we receive no funding from the city. Every parade, concert, and firework in the sky is the result of our own fundraising efforts—and the support of people like you.
So, if you've ever wondered how to get involved, now’s the perfect time. Stop by, meet the team, and see how you can be a part of keeping this amazing tradition alive.
Hope to see you there,
The Ojai Independence Day Committee
