The Forest Grove City Council is seeking citizens and students to serve on various City Boards, Commissions, and Committees.  The City Council relies heavily on citizen volunteers to study special community issues, provide direction, obtain public comment on key projects and take action or offer recommendation on a number of matters. 

There are presently nine City advisory boards, committees, and decision-making commissions.  Each is unique in its size, meeting schedule, and specific function; however, the overall mission is the same:  To Make Forest Grove "A Great Place to Live, Learn, Work and Play."  Citizens who serve on City advisory boards, committees, and commissions perform a community service by using their skills, interests, and initiatives to make a difference.  Whether you are interested in arts, library programs, historical preservation, tree preservation, recreational activities, public safety or land use practices, the City of Forest Grove has opportunities for you to volunteer your time and talent.  In addition, the City Council is seeking high school students this year to apply to serve the role as a student advisor.  Students must reside in Forest Grove and must be currently enrolled in high school or being homeschooled. 

To be considered for the annual recruitment, applications are due by Friday, November 14, 2008. Click here for the application form and description of each board and commission.
