Phoenix Conservation Office provides training for fall volunteer orientation workshop

City of Phoenix volunteers are set to enhance their community engagement skills through the completion of the Water Wrangler Volunteer Training. During the recent training session held on July 18, 2025, participants were guided on how to effectively communicate with the public about water conservation and related topics.

A key takeaway from the session emphasized the importance of providing accurate information. Volunteers were reassured that it is acceptable not to have all the answers to questions they may encounter. Instead, they were encouraged to direct inquiries to staff members present at events or to provide contact information for experts who can assist further. This approach aims to prevent the spread of misinformation and ensures that the public receives reliable answers.

The training concluded with participants being informed about the next steps, including a mandatory fall volunteer orientation workshop. This workshop will not only solidify their training but also offer an opportunity for networking and community building, with incentives such as food and merchandise to encourage attendance.

As the City of Phoenix continues to promote water conservation efforts, the training equips volunteers with the necessary tools to engage effectively with the community, fostering a culture of informed and responsible water use. Volunteers are urged to register for the upcoming orientation to further their involvement in these vital initiatives.
