PEARLAND VOLUNTEERS Continue to Commit to Community Service
From childcare at the Pearland Recreation Center Kidz Korner and coaching youth sports, to City-sponsored community events, to overseeing logistical and recreational activities for all ages and many interests, the City of Pearland provides several recurring and special event volunteer opportunities. The City’s volunteer force boasts diversity, hailing from a variety of career fields, interests and walks of life. Many volunteers are students, teachers, medical professionals, or active members of their communities, and are often involved with nationally or locally recognized non-profit organizations, federal departments, or religions. “The most important part of this story isn’t about the number of volunteer hours in any given year,” said City of Pearland Volunteer Coordination Patricia Wiley. “It is the people who freely give their time and talents to make an impact on the community.”
“If our staff continues to gently supervise with a
clear understanding of their volunteers’ duties and needs, then increased volunteer recruitment, great customer service and sustained retention of dedicated, trained volunteers will be evident.” – PATRICIA WILEY If you are interested or would like more information on volunteering with the City of Pearland, please visit pearlandtx.gov/volunteer.
