How the City works for YOU
how YOU can work for the City
Join us for a festival of fun at City Hall. Police motorcycles, a K9 dog, helicopter tours, photo opps for the kiddos, as well as free popcorn and other goodies.
Unleash your inner CSI sleuth, check out our big rigs (dump trucks, fire trucks, water rescue rig), and learn about the paths you can take to meaningful work at the City of Gresham.
Not in the market for a new career? No problem. You bring the kids (or your inner child), and well bring the free, hands-on, family-friendly fun.
