What Volunteers Did Last Month

Volunteer Awards and Duck Days

Pictured above are a handful of incredible city of Clearwater volunteers who received awards of honor for their time, dedication and efforts as Clearwater volunteers. From serving the most number of hours at one-time events to hosting a weekly reptile education program and many accomplishments in between, these volunteers proudly embody the values of service, civic engagement, environmental conservation and community. Thank you for representing Clearwater.

Additionally, volunteers helped guests enjoy the World's Largest Rubber Duck this month by volunteering at our Duck Days events throughout January. Volunteers also participated in multiple park beautification and environmental projects this month.

Thank you for all you do as volunteers!
