CIVIC Volunteer Program

The City of Collinsville has developed a program to better connect the public to the City through community engagement.  The “Collinsville Involves Volunteers In our Community” (C.I.V.I.C.) Volunteer Program coordinates efforts to allow volunteer participation in many City departments or City sponsored events.  

Collinsville citizens are encouraged to invest time in their community by becoming a volunteer to assist in special events or short/long-term projects.  The volunteer experience helps strengthen the city’s resources, helps our citizens get a better understanding of their local government, and gives our residents a sense of pride in their community.

What volunteer opportunities may be available?

There may be one or more volunteer opportunities available in various City Departments.  In addition to department specific placement, there are occasions where volunteers are needed part-time for City sponsored special events, emergency operations planning and response, or special projects.

• Special Events: The City of Collinsville hosts several special events each year.  Volunteers are needed to assist with many different tasks which may include: set-up, tear-down, trash pickup, event management, and any other duties based on need.  There are a variety of events throughout the year, so volunteer assignments will vary based on event.  
• Community Clean-up:  The City of Collinsville participates in the Great American Clean Up and holds several other clean up events in the community. The City also works with the City Code Enforcement Department to find volunteers to help residents who may not have the ability to bring their property into compliance with city ordinances.  Churches and other organizations are often called upon to help the elderly keep their property within regulations.
•  Boards and Committees:  The City of Collinsville has a number of boards and committees to assist with the day to day activities and policies of the city.  To be eligible for a board or committee position, you must complete an application, be registered to vote in Tulsa County, and be a resident or an owner of real property in the City of Collinsville.  Click here, to get more information on volunteering for one of our many boards or committees.
