Volunteerism

From 1736 when Benjamin Franklin co-founded our nation’s first formally organized all volunteer fire company, to the establishment of the American Red Cross in 1881, and then to today’s digital age providing instantaneous matching of desires to help with appropriate organizations, volunteers have played a significant role in our society.

Volunteerism is strong within Collier County.  Here, we provide you with helpful information to allow you to begin, or maybe even continue, your volunteer efforts.
