Get Involved: Make a Difference in Nyack!

Volunteers are the heart of our community, helping Nyack’s local government thrive. Whether you're interested in contributing your expertise or your time, there are numerous opportunities to get involved in the decision-making and development of our village.


Appointed Committees

Vacancies may arise throughout the year, and all appointments are subject to Board of Trustees approval.

Note: All meetings of appointed committees are open to the public.
