Voices at the table who understand and care about our community matter. If you are interested in what gets built in your community and how government works to deliver services in your neighborhood, apply to join one of Manhattan’s 12 Community Boards.
Every Community Board has 50 seats which are filled for two-year terms by volunteers, who are selected by the Borough President and local City Council members. Half the seats are up for appointment or reappointment every year. Community Boards get a seat at the table in high-stakes land use, real estate, and zoning negotiations, and they work directly with city agencies to influence how government services are delivered at the neighborhood level.
If you’d like to serve as a member of your Community Board, apply online here! You can also print the application and drop it off by mail or in-person. The deadline is February 8, 2019. Please note that community board members must live, work, go to school or have some other significant interest in the community board in which they want to serve.
The online application can be found here: bit.ly/CB2019Application (case sensitive). Community board applications will be open until February 8, 2019. Physical applications may also be dropped off at the Manhattan Borough President’s Office or mailed and postmarked by February 8, 2019 (visit: bit.ly/CB2019ApplicationPDF), but online submissions are strongly preferred.
