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
Here are some of the ways you can get involved as a volunteer:
Adopt-a-Spot Programs
- 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.
