Volunteer Services
The City of Mesquite’s Volunteer Services Program is dedicated to serving its residents by uniting volunteers with needed projects and services. The program is built on the premise that both the volunteer and the city will mutually benefit from the partnership.
Volunteers can enhance and augment the city’s ability to provide quality services to the community by participating in a variety of city programs and activities. In return, volunteers receive an opportunity to increase their skills and knowledge, become better prepared to participate in government, and to influence decisions affecting their community.
