Summary
In a brief recorded segment, Steve Stoler highlighted Plano’s Volunteers in Plano (VIP) program, saying more than 7,000 people join annually and volunteers contribute about 79,000 hours valued at over $2,000,000; listeners were directed to volunteers.plano.gov.
Steve Stoler, commentator, said Plano’s Volunteers in Plano (VIP) program enrolls more than 7,000 volunteers each year and contributes about 79,000 volunteer hours — a value the city estimates at more than $2,000,000 — and directed listeners to the city’s volunteer portal.
Stoler described the range of volunteers who contribute to city operations, saying, “Teens, adults, retirees, working professionals, faith groups, corporate teams, caregivers, and college students all bring a wealth of energy, skills, and life experience to our city departments.” He called the program a legacy of community service in Plano and noted the ease of signing up: “Just go to our volunteer portal online at volunteers.plano.gov. All the important information you'll need to know is right there.”
The segment presented the VIP program as a source of support for city departments but did not include details about specific volunteer openings, departmental assignments, coordination staff, or funding for volunteer programs. No formal city action or vote was recorded in this segment; the remarks were informational and promotional in nature.
Information on volunteer opportunities and sign-up instructions is available at volunteers.plano.gov.
"We'll see you soon for another Stoler on the Street," Stoler concluded, signaling the end of the recorded community segment.
