Volunteering with the City

The City of Dixon and Its Citizens: Working Together

The City welcomes community participation in the enhancement and expansion of city services. The City is dependent on its staff and the invaluable support of its Volunteers. Being a Volunteer encourages civic pride and provides a person sense of satisfaction. By providing quality service to The City of Dixon, both the community and its volunteers benefit in the following ways:

Volunteers strengthen their skills and their talents benefit the community.
Volunteers are personally enriched and meet others who share their desire to better the community.
Volunteers are placed according the their skills and interests.

There are many opportunities for citizens interested in volunteering their time from office/clerical work to landscaping and maintenance; just to name a few. Generally, these volunteer opportunities require a 3 to 6 month time commitment as program participants may require training. There are a few short/long term special projects opportunities available. All volunteer applicants must be at least 16 years of age, will be required to fill out the volunteer program application, and submitted to a Department of Justice (DOJ) background check prior to placement. We no longer accept court community service appointed referrals.

Thank you for considering volunteering with the City of Dixon!
