Volunteers
The mission of the volunteer program is twofold. The department will provide a rewarding experience to citizens with a desire to share their time and talents to better serve the community. Secondly, the program will provide quality and cost effective delivery of services which further the mission of the department to improve the quality of life in our city.
Volunteer Assignments
Though the department has a wide variety of volunteer opportunities, we are currently looking for candidates interested in community outreach, community events, senior outreach and public education. We value your special skills and experience and will try to match you up with a volunteer experience that best utilizes these skills.
