Naperville Illinois Residents! Your City Is Initiating a Muncipal Volunteer Program!

     Perhaps we Americans did not invent volunteerism ... but we sure have put our own spin on it and do it with flair. We do it across the world and close to home. 

     Now, residents of Naperville, Illinois, will have a new opportunity to flex their volunteering muscles.

     The City of Naperville, Illinois is initiating a Municipal Volunteer Program beginning next month. City residents will be able to donate their time and talents to projects and efforts run through this new city program.

     The idea behind this new Municipal Volunteer Program is to enhance and grow city services, while providing residents the opportunity to contribute their talents, build upon their experience(s) and resume'(s), and explore new ideas ... all while helping the city reduce costs or cut expenses. It also offers a great opportunity for local retirees to stay involved and active.

     The Naperville Municipal Volunteer Program is hoping to emulate the success of the 20-year-old volunteer program running at the city's Police Department.

     Naperville, IL Police Chief David Dial credits volunteers with his department's volunteer program with helping to reduce the work load of in-house office personnel, as well as contributing to the safety of the city via community patrols.  The City of Naperville hopes to see many of the same benefits of volunteerism within their program.

     The volunteer duty presently available for consideration by Naperville, IL city residents through the Municipal Volunteer Program is: Operation of the Receptionist Desk at the Naperville Municipal Center.

     Further opportunities for volunteering will be considered for addition and expansion in 6 months after an evaluation of the success of this first task.
