Volunteer Opportunities

Residents Mini-Academy

The city of Royal Oak is excited to host another residents mini-academy!  This one will focus on our newly approved Sustainability and Climate Action Plan (SCAP).  The plan helps to chart our path toward becoming a more environmentally friendly facility focusing on buildings and energy; mobility; waste; water; green space; and quality of life.  There will be three sessions focusing on two sections of the plan each night.  Participants will learn more about the plan, what the city is working on, and how they can contribute to the plan’s success!  Each night we are bringing in some staff/community partners to help share information about the programs and services that might be able to help participants be more sustainable in the daily routines. 

The program will be on July 7th, 14th, and 21st from 6pm to 8pm.

Cool Off With Us!

Summer is officially here! With higher temps, comes the need to cool down. We want to remind residents that the Salter Center (1545 E Lincoln Ave)  and the Mahany/Meininger Senior Center (3500 Marais Ave) are available during normal business hours to drop in and escape from the heat.

Listen Up, Royal Oak!

The new City Commission chamber offers an assistive listening solution that delivers clarity to those struggling to hear in a big room that can at times be crowded. The device (shown in the photo) is easy to use. 

If you are interested in trying one, please call the Human Resources Department at 248-246-3070 in advance of any meeting you are planning to attend. We’ll be happy to have a listening device ready and waiting for you!

Residential Lock Boxes Available at the Fire Department

The Royal Oak Fire Department’s residential lockbox program is designed to get quick access to adults living in their own homes during medical emergencies -- especially senior citizens.  When every second counts, the lockbox -- which contains a key to your home -- reduces the likelihood of property damage caused by first responders forcing entry into your home in response to an emergency call.
