Volunteer Committees Volunteers are the heart of any successful program. The Main Street & Better Hometown programs develop local vision and leadership while actively facilitating the economic development of downtown using the National Main Street Center’s 4-point Approach™: Organization, Design, Economic Restructuring and Promotion. These committees are critical to the success of the Better Home Town Program.
