It’s Community Board ApplicationSeason in Brooklyn!Apply by February 14, 2025, at 11pm.
Community boards are the grassroots of our local government. With 18 community districts, Brooklyn has the most community boards of all five boroughs, each one full of people who care about the well-being of their community.
Community boards work with city agencies, elected officials, and local leaders to ensure their neighborhood’s perspectives and needs are incorporated into the decisions that will affect them. This includes everything from housing development and public transit to our city’s budget and services like sanitation.
Now through February 14, 2025, at 11pm, New York City residents ages 16 and up have the opportunity to apply to join their Brooklyn community board.
What each community board focuses on is largely up to the people who comprise it, which is why it’s so important to get involved.
