Estero Volunteering

The Practice of Citizen
Involvement, Engagement and Influence

In the unincorporated Village of Estero, Florida we are blessed with citizens who are taking community involvement to new levels. For those of you who live and/or work in Estero and who would like to participate, you are welcome to join us in the creation of a very special place in southwest Florida.

If you are interested in participating in growth management in Estero, please join us at monthly public meetings of the Estero Community Planning Panel (ECPP) and the Estero Design Review Committee (EDRC), respectively. By doing so you will be afforded the opportunity to learn about and influence developer plans for our community. To date over three thousand people have attended public meetings and have heard over 120 presentations by developers and others who are involved in shaping our community.

If you are interested in constructing solutions to issues and problems, please join us at the monthly public meetings of the Estero Council of Community Leaders (ECCL) where representatives of Estero community organizations and residential communities collectively work together for the benefit of Estero. You can view the ECCL's volunteer committees and sign up to join a committee on our Committees page.

If you are interested in hearing from and dialoging with county officials and leaders, please join at the public meetings of the Estero Civic Association.

If you are interested in the rich history of Estero, please join us at the public meetings of the Estero Historical Society.

Get the dates and locations of these meetings from our calendar of Opportunities for Public Participation.
