Do you want to take volunteering to the next level? Is your passion for community service growing beyond sharing your talents in the classroom, on political campaigns or helping out at events?
Your local government needs people just like you, who want to make a difference in their community. Citizen Boards & Commissions offer opportunities for residents to share their feedback, perspectives and time to help local leaders make important decisions that impact your city’s future. Whether it’s transportation, land use and planning, or parks and recreation, there’s literally something for everyone. Like books and reading? Try the library board. Enjoy the arts? Many cities have commissions whose mission is to ensure a vibrant arts scene. From public safety, technology, health care and preserving local culture, there’s a Board & Commission that’s probably a good fit for you.
The process to serve is easy and the time commitment is generally manageable! No surprise, League is here to help you. We have tools and resources to guide you through every step from determining the best fit, to application, interview, and setting you up for success in your new role. Plus, Boards & Commissions are the perfect steppingstone to raise your community profile and run for future public office.
