Volunteer! Help With Transportation, Zoning, Beautification and More!

Want to give back to your own community? Your help is needed to make Anderson Township an even better place to live! Invest your talents and time towards working on issues related to transportation, community health, economic development, beautification and more.

These committees are appointed by township trustees for a specific purpose and have a one-year term:

- Anderson Township Senior Center Advisory Committee - ensures the Senior Center continues to foster a creative and intellectually stimulating environment that enhances the lives of Anderson seniors.

- Anderson Tree Committee - promotes and manages healthy, safe, and appropriate trees along township streets and on public grounds or roadways and makes recommendations to Anderson Township's tree planting program.

- Greater Anderson Township Betterment Committee - non-profit organization working behind the scenes to facilitate communitywide improvements and projects.

There are also two development related committees that operate on a five-year term, with one-year alternates:

- Zoning Commission – hears cases that involve modifying the Anderson Township Zoning Map or the Anderson Township Zoning Resolution.

- Board of Zoning Appeals - reviews appeals to the township’s Zoning Resolution, as well as other development-related applications.

New for 2024, the township is seeking to combine the former Economic Development Committee, WeTHRIVE! Anderson Committee and Transportation Advisory Committee. This new “implementation Team” is envisioned to continue the work of these groups in a more collaborative manner.  Topics to be tackled by this group may likely relate to the township’s economic development strategy and business environment, the environmental and social health of the community, and recommendations on transportation matters and projects.

Finally, an addition for 2024 entails the creation of an “Event Corps”, which would be volunteers who are interested in helping with a specific event or project.  For example, members of this group may help with the parade, community cleanups, the garden & history tour, etc.  The Township’s goal is to build a list of community members who can assist with one or more of these key programs that help define Anderson Township, but this would not be a standing committee, nor involve Trustee appointments. More information may be found on the document below.

For consideration for one or more Committees, the Implementation Team and/or the Event Corps, send a letter/email of interest to “Committees,” Anderson Township, Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Road, Anderson Township, OH 45230 or email Steve Sievers at ssievers@AndersonTownshipOH.gov.
