"While Brooklyn is on the way, we still have work to do to address the underrepresentation of certain groups on our boards," Reynoso said. "I hope we see more applications from renters, mass transit users, young people, skilled trade workers and public housing residents - but no matter your background or story, as long as you have love for this borough and all who call it home, we want to hear from you."
Community boards are the most grassroots level of local government and often the first point of contact for residents. They address issues including land use, transportation projects and liquor licenses.
Brooklyn boasts the largest number of community districts among the five boroughs and offers opportunities for up to 50 volunteers per board to work with city agencies, elected officials, and local leaders to address community needs.
The application process includes completing a two-part process, starting with detailing their background and interest in serving on a board. A brief virtual interview with the Borough President's team will follow, and selections will be made from there.
