April is National Volunteer Month, and in Fishers, city leaders are placing a renewed emphasis on the role volunteers play in building community.

In this episode of Fridays with Larry, I sit down with Mayor Scott Fadness and the city’s Volunteer Coordinator, Amy Crell, for an in-depth conversation about how volunteerism supports city services, strengthens neighborhoods, and connects residents to one another.

A key focus of the discussion is a new City of Fishers initiative aimed at expanding volunteer opportunities for young people. The program is designed to introduce youth to civic engagement early, while helping local organizations tap into a new generation of volunteers.

We also explore how the city recruits and manages volunteers, the impact those volunteers have across a wide range of programs and events, and why both guests believe volunteerism remains a cornerstone of a thriving community.
