Pete Casillas

Pete Casillas is a lifelong resident of Superior and is a graduate from Superior High School.  Pete began his commitment to volunteerism when he was a young man helping his parents with the “Project Happy Face” program that would provide food boxes to those less fortunate in the community.

  Most recently Pete has been very active in Superior.  He often volunteers to help with community clean ups, trail building and takes on leadership positions in the organizations he has been involved in.  Currently Pete is the Vice President of the Superior Chamber of Commerce.  He has been a member of the Superior Optimist Club, served on the Parks and Recreation Committee for seven years and also served as President of the Superior Arts League.  From 2005-07 he developed a volunteer group called the Number Nine crew, that group would work on many community beautification projects.

  Pete enjoys volunteering  because he loves his community. 

  “I want to see the community develop, and to do that we need to give energy and time to make those improvements,” he explained.

  When Pete is not volunteering, he enjoys activities in the great outdoors including hiking, climbing, off roading, shooting, kayaking and enjoying time with his dog Drago and his friends.

The Superior Chamber of Commerce has created the community volunteer of the month program.  To nominate a community volunteer drop by the Caboose Visitor Center or the Superior Chamber of Commerce office and fill out a form.  Each month the Chamber board will select a volunteer of the month and they will be showcased in the Superior Chamber of Commerce window.
