Updates on Issues of Impact

Engage Estero believes the best way to get a community involved is to make sure they are aware of the issues impacting their future, and know how to impact those decisions before they are made. We conduct and publish original research and articles aimed at getting residents Engaged.

he Village of Estero and Lee County Schools leadership signed a Memorandum of Understanding committing to assuring that our students are well-prepared to enter the workforce, and to encourage the “best and brightest” to keep their talents in Southwest Florida.

Councilman Nick Batos, the Village of Estero’s liaison to Lee County Schools, collaborated with the Lee County School Board and the Principals of our Estero schools to evaluate how to best utilize ECCL volunteers to make the most of their talents and experiences for the benefit of our students. A variety of opportunities are now available including tutors, mentors, and many others. The opportunities are also flexible as to days and hours as well as functions.
You are now invited to join the many volunteers that give their time and talents to our Estero community. Our school volunteer program acts as a vehicle to provide additional educational resources to students, teachers, and other staff members. Each person involved with our school-level volunteer program performs an essential role.

We look forward to receiving your Education Ambassador application and sincerely appreciate your willingness to give back to our Estero Community. Please help us to spread the word by sharing this with your friends, neighbors and Estero community contacts.
