The Uptown Shelby Association, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, relies on volunteers to accomplish our goals. From serving on our board to setting up festivals to sweeping the streets after the Christmas parade - we could not do it without volunteer helpers.
We welcome clubs, teams, organizations, and workplaces to volunteer together! Email our Community Engagement Coordinator, Taylor, at toxtoby@uptownshelby.com to coordinate your group or get more information.
