Volunteer Service

The City Volunteer program promotes and coordinates volunteer opportunities within City departments to citizens seeking to enhance the community by donating their time and skills to various municipal projects.

The City of Mason City encourages citizens to get involved and participate in the development and enhancement of the city and the community in which they live and work.

By choosing to volunteer, you will have the opportunity to strengthen our community by connecting with city staff, families, neighbors and friends, schools, businesses and organizations through service.
