So what's in it for you?
As a volunteer, you can have a purpose and meaning and feel valued by an organization. You will also have the opportunity to socialize and network with people who are driven and inspired by what they do. Your contribution will be rewarded with a feeling of joy and satisfaction. Many community members, including yourself or someone you know, may need help from others someday. Volunteering now may help you accept that assistance if the time comes.
The City of Lakewood Volunteer Program is designed to promote and support the growth of volunteerism within the City's departments and the community. The City of Lakewood provides a number of volunteer opportunities, such as office assignments, service events and special projects that allow volutneers to give back in a fun and educational manner. Many City offices participate in the volunteer program by creating opportunities and requesting volunteers to meet department needs.
