What is a community board?

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.

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.

When and where do community boards meet?

Community boards meet each month from September through June at an accessible, in-district location. All board members are required to attend the monthly meeting in person, as well as to join a committee and attend their committee’s meeting. The anticipated monthly time commitment is 6 to 8 hours.

Can I join a community board?

All NYC residents 16 years and older who live, work, or have a significant interest in a community can serve on a community board.

How do I find my community board?

What is the application process for new applicants?

There are two parts to the application process. First, you must fill out an application with information about you and your interest in joining a Brooklyn community board. Then, you will be scheduled for a brief, virtual conversation with a member of the Brooklyn Borough President’s team. Applicants will later be notified with a decision once board selections have been made.
