Get Involved
Find your corner of Rolando.
The Rolando Community Council is an all-neighbor, all-volunteer organization. Every event, activity, and tradition is brainstormed and run by neighbors right here in Rolando — and we are always looking for new energy. There are many ways for you and your family to jump in.
Ways to help
Pick a team — or just show up.
Community Improvements Team
Beautify Rolando through cooperative work: catwalk clean-ups, trash pick-ups around Pendleton Park, replanting street trees, and supporting a bicycle corridor. A great way to meet neighbors and make new friends.
Contact this teamCommunity Events Team
Meets monthly to plan the events that build community pride — summer concerts and picnics in Pendleton Park, the June Ice Cream Social, our Street Fair booth, the Rolando Holiday Party, and whatever we dream up next.

Neighbors write and publish our quarterly newspaper, The Oracle. We are always looking for new voices to write articles and help get the word out around Rolando.

Make it official for $15 a year.
You don’t have to be a member to join in — but membership funds our community projects, is tax-deductible, and lets you vote for (or run for) the RCC board. Open to anyone living or owning property in Rolando. Membership runs October through September.
Lead the way
Join the RCC Board.
A seven-member board keeps every RCC activity true to our mission — noncommercial, nonpartisan, and for the welfare of the whole community. The board sets the budget, selects grant recipients, and steers special projects. Half the seats are elected each June for two-year terms; RCC membership is required to run. More than 35 neighbors have served over the past decade. If you live in Rolando, consider this a real chance to shape your neighborhood.
