Organize a Community Watch program.
A Community Watch program is an excellent form of advocacy for change that helps improve community safety. By engaging in civic engagement and connecting with your neighbors to build friendships, we naturally begin to look out for one another and report suspicious activity. Let us help you protect your neighborhood while exploring volunteer opportunities to contribute to initiatives like the Old Red Schoolhouse Preservation.
Preserve the "Old Red Schoolhouse"

Organize a Community Watch program.
The 'Old Red Schoolhouse,' built by the Mackle Brothers during the construction of the community center, is a replica of a one-room pioneer schoolhouse where kids can play. Unfortunately, over the years, it has been neglected and turned into an abandoned storage facility for the city. Through our advocacy for change and civic engagement, we would like to see this historic site repurposed as a heritage center. We believe that revitalizing the Old Red Schoolhouse could also provide valuable volunteer opportunities for community members, further enhancing our Community Watch program.
Advocate for Change

Advocate for Change
By uniting our voices, we can engage in effective advocacy for change and promote civic engagement that directs our city towards the future we envision. Initiatives like the Community Watch program and the Old Red Schoolhouse Preservation project, along with various volunteer opportunities, can help us achieve this goal.
Civic Engagement
Advocate for Change
Join us to learn how Florida laws and ethics work to protect us from elected officials who have other plans. Through our Advocacy for Change, we emphasize the importance of Civic Engagement in Deltona, where the government operates as a non-partisan elected office. Decisions made by the government should reflect this non-partisan approach, and our Community Watch program, along with initiatives like the Old Red Schoolhouse Preservation, offer Volunteer Opportunities for all to get involved.
Pedestrian-Traffic Safety
A Deltona School Zone Safety Program pursuant to House Bill 657 (Chapter 2023-174, Laws of Florida), effective July 1, 2023.
This legislation authorizes municipalities to install and operate speed detection systems within designated school zones during active school hours to enforce posted speed limits. The statute establishes clear parameters, including notice requirements, a 30-day warning period prior to citation issuance, and a $100 civil penalty that does not result in driver’s license points. The law was designed to provide local governments with an additional, non-criminal tool to enhance pedestrian safety in school environments.
Deltona Citizens United believes it would be prudent for the City to evaluate whether this state-authorized program could strengthen safety protections for students, families, and school personnel within our community.
