School and After School Programs


Fire Department Explorer Program

The Explorer Program is offered to Davenport youth, ages 14 to 20, who are our next generation of firefighter personnel. The program provides training and education for students interested in the Davenport Fire Department. It follows the school year and includes monthly meetings with topics ranging from station tours, dispatching, and hands-on fire extinguisher training. Many former Explorers now work in the fire service or have fire responder roles within the community.

Interested individuals must have completed the 8th grade and be between the ages of 14 and 20.

Public Works Education Opportunities & Resources

The Davenport Public Works, Development & Neighborhood Services, and Engineering and Capital Projects Departments provide limited educational activities and classroom support for public, private, homeschool, and secondary educators. 

Opportunities are generally focused on surface water quality, stormwater and wastewater to protect our community’s natural resources and foster behavior change for the future of our community. 

In addition to natural resource and public works education noted above, the department may provide other natural resource or mission aligned public works and public works career exploration related presentations, tours, and teacher professional development opportunities* as staffing levels are able to support.

To inquire about a presentation, tour or professional development opportunity, e-mail us. Topics may include stormwater, wastewater, engineering, traffic engineering, forestry operations, green infrastructure, sustainability, emergency response, floods, street and sewer maintenance, solid waste and recycling.

We are unable to deliver school and after school programming at locations outside of the City of Davenport.
