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
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
Student pedestrian and traffic safety are two issues that are very close to the Mair family of Deltona. In 2010, their oldest daughter, Gabrielle "Gabby" Mair was struck by a car getting off her school bus. In 2015, Gabby's Law for Student Safety was passed by the Florida Legislature. Now we are asking the City of Deltona to enact the student safety measures provided in 2023's HB 657. Speed detecting cameras at school zones will help protect students and save lives.
Become a Partner
We would love for your business to partner with us or sponsor one of our events that promote Advocacy for Change and Civic Engagement. Let us know how you would like to support initiatives like the Community Watch program or the Old Red Schoolhouse Preservation, and explore the Volunteer Opportunities available to help make Deltona a better place for your business.

July Jenkins was a former enslaved person and founder of the town of Garfield. Just three years after the War Between the States, July Jenkins made his way to our part of West Volusia County, where he began farming and engaging in civic engagement that would shape the community. He not only raised a family but also built a whole town in the process. In honoring his legacy, we should consider various volunteer opportunities, including support for the Old Red Schoolhouse Preservation and our Community Watch program. It is essential to recognize and celebrate this remarkable man's contributions annually as part of our advocacy for change.
