Organization Policies
* For applicants with court appointed community service, the one department that accepts court appointed community service volunteers is Environmental Services. Please contact Jesse Tate at 817-426-9848 or jtate@burlesontx.com to participate in the Keep Burleson Beautiful program. Each applicant is considered on a case by case basis. Application is not a guarantee of acceptance.
Situations arise within City departments that require employees and volunteers to deal with confidential information. Volunteers will be expected to maintain the utmost professionalism when dealing with information and records that are confidential.
Library and BRiCk Volunteers: All Library patron and BRiCk member records are confidential; this includes patron requests.
As a City Department all of volunteer applicants 17 and older must pass a background check.
