Community Engagement—Volunteer in Westmont

As part of the Village of Westmont Strategic Plan, the village
encourages residents to get involved in the community through
volunteerism. The spirit of volunteerism also achieves another
Strategic Plan goal of ensuring that Westmont retains its
small-town charm.
The village invites everyone to be active in your community. There
are many opportunities to get involved and influence positive change
through volunteering.
“Westmont has amazing volunteers who do remarkable work for
the benefit of all,” said Westmont Mayor Ron Gunter, who has been a
community volunteer for 40 years. “If you want to make a difference
in your community, I encourage you to get involved.”
Whatever your interests, we have an activity, program, or
event for you. Here is a list of just some of Westmont’s local
