Safety City Needs Teen Volunteers

For the 33^rd year, the Muskego Women’s Club, Muskego Police Department, Muskego Parks and Recreation Department, and Muskego/Norway School District are partnering up to bring Safety City to kids from 4 to 7 years old. 

The program recreates a child-size city where children use big wheels to learn about road and pedestrian safety.  In addition, fire protection, poison prevention, animal safety, and stranger awareness are covered.  While a collaboration of many city organizations, organizers say they are looking for volunteers, ages 11-18, to help out for the two-week program.

"We need students who have patience, maturity, and enjoy working with preschoolers," said Lt. David Constantineau of Muskego PD. "They should consider volunteering some of their free time this summer to help teach younger children how to be safe - and if you need volunteer hours for school, I can’t think of a better way to get them."

Classes are offered Monday - Friday July 18-29 and volunteers are needed for either morning or afternoon class, or both. 

According to Constantineau, "my daughter has done it the last three years, and can’t wait for this year."

Interested students should visit the General Information page on the Muskego Police Department website and click on the application tab.  Download the Safety City Volunteer Application, fill it out, and either bring it in to the police department or email them to Officer Gary Mrotek at gmrotek@ci.muskego.wi.us.
