Former President Bush called all Americans to volunteer 2 years or the equivalent of 4000 hours of service to their communities over the course of their lifetime. To assist the citizens of Belvidere in fulfilling that call, the City of Belvidere has established a Citizen Corps Council. The Citizen Corps Council is a newly formed branch of the Freedom Corps and is directed by FEMA.
Citizen Corps Council
Our Citizen Corps Council will focus on preparedness and emergency response and will strive to enhance community programs already in effect. The council is made up of the Belvidere Family YMCA, the Rock River Chapter of the American Red Cross, ALERTA (an organization who represents the Hispanic culture in Belvidere), the Boone County Sheriff's Department, the Belvidere Fire and Police Departments, Boone County Emergency Management Agency (EMA) and corporate support from General Mills/Green Giant and Chrysler Daimler.
Join the City of Belvidere Citizen Corps
Each volunteer will be entered into a database that has been devised for tracking training needs, training received, areas of special interest and any special licenses/certification and skills the volunteer may have. We can then use this information to refer the volunteer to the agency that may require the skills, training, etc.
It is our goal to have a pool of volunteers available for specific needs that may arise in our community as well as the capability to deploy volunteers to other communities if the need should occur. We plan for this program to be ongoing and meaningful as well as teach skills that one may use in their life. Our core group for the purpose of this meeting is made up of the organizations mentioned above for the purpose of manageability; however, we do plan to include the faith groups, schools, service clubs and other organizations. If you have any questions, please call Mayor Frederic Brereton at (815-544-2612) or email him at
