The Mission of the Volunteer Program

The mission of the City of Tempe municipal volunteer program is to connect citizens to their city government through opportunities to serve within the Tempe municipal government organization and the community.

Volunteers serve in Tempe government offices, programs and facilities and expand and enhance the services the city is able to provide to the community. Volunteers enable the city to stretch tax dollars and improve the lives of its citizens.

A wide variety of service opportunities exist for individuals and groups, from sixth-graders through golden-agers, from a few hours to years of service. We welcome you to check us out!


Dear Tempe Volunteers:

You give your time to our police department and our library, to our pools and the Tempe Historical Museum. You represent all ages from pre-teens to retirees. You're our city volunteers and we are incredibly grateful to have you on the team.

The hard work of volunteers in all our departments saves taxpayer dollars and assists in the city's mission to provide essential services and desired amenities to our residents. Your efforts are particularly commendable, in my view, because I know what it's like to be a volunteer. As a longtime volunteer for local organizations like East Valley Habitat for Humanity and Assistance for Independent Living, I realize the value of giving one's time.

As you volunteer in Tempe, if there is ever anything I can do, please let me know. I'll always be there for the legions of good people who help this great city of ours.

Cordially, 
Hugh Hallman, Mayor
