Volunteering

President George W. Bush established the Citizen Corps, a nationwide initiative encompassing public education, citizen training and volunteer programs.  We've met his call to service by establishing a local Citizen Corps in Rowlett. 

Everyone can do something to support Rowlett’s law enforcement, fire, emergency medical services, community public health efforts, and the four stages of emergency management: prevention, mitigation, response and recovery efforts.
