Your Voice. Your Skills. Your Community.

Local residents serve on these important boards, guiding policy, overseeing projects, and ensuring community voices are heard.
Whether you’re ready to contribute your skills or just want to understand how things work, there are countless ways to stay engaged and make a lasting impact—all year round.
