Volunteer

If you would like to become a Homer Township Volunteer, please contact the Homer Township Administration Office for more information at 708-301-0522. We look forward to meeting you and discussing the many opportunities available to better our community.


Why Volunteer?

With busy lives, it can be hard to find time to volunteer. However, the benefits of volunteering can be enormous. Volunteering offers vital help to people in need, worthwhile causes, and the community but the benefits can be even greater to you, the volunteer. The right match can help you to find friends, connect with the community, learn new skills, and even advance your career.

Giving to others can also help protect your mental and physical health. It can reduce stress, combat depression, keep you mentally stimulated, and provide a sense of purpose. While it’s true that the more you volunteer the more benefits you’ll experience, volunteering doesn’t have to involve a long-term commitment or take a huge amount of time out of your busy day. Giving in even simple ways can help those in need and improve your health and happiness.

Benefits of Volunteering for the Township

When you volunteer at the Township, it’s a win win for everyone. Not only are you improving yourself, you’re benefiting the community you live in. Township volunteers help to raise funds which offsets the need for property tax increases. Volunteering supports unfunded programs and services, supports our senior program, parks and open space. Through sponsorships, donations and participation in fundraising events, you can help our Township grow and improve.
