Volunteer

Animal Shelter

The Volunteer Worker program greatly enhances the level of care given to the pets during their stay in the shelter, but more importantly, it affects the quality of life of the animals that found their way here.  You will make a positive difference in the lives of some cats and dogs in your work here.  Some people, even the fiercest animal lover, will hesitate to volunteer here, concerned that they will become attached to all the animals, but we have a variety of different jobs available, including some that don’t come into contact with the pets.  The three major categories of volunteer work are: adoption outreach, one on one care of the animals, and fundraising. For additional information call Jackie Carey (512)930-3527 or through email jcarey@georgetowntx.org.

Fire Department

The Georgetown Fire Department is an active division of people who do much more than just put out fires. We are active in outreach programs, education and participation in a number of events. We are currently seeking volunteers for Sept and Oct fire prevention week. Please contact Debie Klaus or Nancy Rangel at (512) 930-3473 or fire@georgetowntx.org.

Georgetown Public Library

Volunteering at the Georgetown Public Library is a job that will never get boring.  The available jobs at the library range from filing books, teaching, working with children, helping those in need find the resources available to them, etc.  Almost all opportunities come with the change to interact with a large range of people with varied interests and personalities.   If you would like to find out more about the volunteer opportunities at the library, please visit this link.

The Georgetown Main Street Program is always looking for more active volunteers.  Some example activities are: serving on a main street advisory board or committee, helping with annual fundraisers, helping with special events downtown, and office and administrative assistance.  For more information, contact Shelly Hargrove at mainstreet@georgetowntx.org or (512) 930-2027

Police Department

The Georgetown Police Services volunteer program is a vital part of the department.  Volunteer groups that fall under PD include the Park Ranger Program, which is in place to help citizens enjoy our beautiful city parks.  It also includes the Victim Services unit which is a group of trained individuals who help the survivors, witnesses and family members through a tragedy.  Other volunteering opportunities include helping the Records Division with administrative functions.  If you would like more information about the Police Department Volunteer program, contact vips@georgetowntx.org or call (512) 930-3510.
