The Richardson City Council has designated April as the City’s Month of Volunteerism, recognizing the important role volunteers play in supporting City programs, services and events throughout the community. The observance is intended both to acknowledge current volunteers and encourage broader participation in community service by highlighting the many ways people can get involved.
The City’s volunteer webpage includes opportunities at the Animal Shelter, Library, Eisemann Center, Police Department VIPS program, and major special events such as the Cottonwood Art Festival, Santa’s Village and Wildflower! Arts & Music Festival.
The webpage also identifies opportunities that can accommodate school groups, corporate teams and other organizations interested in serving together, and opportunities available for City Council appointed board and commission positions.
See the Environmental section below for information on two recent volunteer activities in the City, and the News section for details on an award recognizing volunteer service.
