Do you enjoy volunteering? Throughout the year, the City of Geneva will offer various opportunities to lend a helping hand in sprucing up our community.

These projects are great chances for Scout groups and individuals to give back to their hometown. If one of the volunteer opportunities fits your schedule, please contact the designated City staff member.
