Volunteer Initiatives

At the City of White Settlement, we love our volunteers! Each year, hundreds of residents and community stakeholders give of their time and talents to accomplish important tasks like helping their neighbors, protecting the environment, and so much more. Did you know that volunteering helps combat depression and stress by boosting a person's self-esteem and releasing helpful hormones in the brain? Volunteering is also a proven method to help the next generation learn values such as civic responsibility, empathy, and care for the environment. Who knew that helping others also helps yourself! The City offers a variety of convenient, low-commitment service opportunities that can be tailored to your interests and availability.

Volunteer Opportunities

  • Adopt a street
  • Adopt a park
  • Adopt a waterway

The City of White Settlement partners with Keep Texas Beautiful in a free program that focuses on keeping local streets, parks, and waterways beautiful and litter free! It is a low commitment (4 times a year) way to get involved in the community and make a difference! This is also a great option for businesses, churches, groups, and organizations as a sign featuring your name will be placed near your adopted spot.

  • Canned food drives
  • Pet food drives
  • Toiletry drive
  • Misc. Senior Center support

The White Settlement Senior Center serves area senior adults by offering meals, socialization, wellness classes, exercise opportunities, games & activities, and more. There are limited opportunities for volunteers to assist with major programs and events at the center.

The City runs several major community events each year. Events of this magnitude present multiple opportunities for volunteer involvement. This can take on forms such as being a part of the event (setting up a vendor booth, being a parade participant) or by assisting with the execution of the event itself.

Homeowner Code Enforcement Assistance Programs

  • Mowing
  • Graffiti abatement
  • House printing
  • Misc. maintenance

At times, special circumstances arise during the course of Code Enforcement cases when a homeowner may need assistance to bring their property into compliance. Limited volunteer opportunities are available to help in these situations.
