Eugene residents encouraged to volunteer for city boards and commissions

Eugene, OR – Eugene residents interested in becoming more involved in their community and local government are invited to apply for volunteer positions on the City of Eugene’s boards, commissions, or committees. These volunteer roles offer an opportunity to advise the City Council and staff on various subjects, providing recommendations on critical policy matters that shape the city’s future.
The work of these groups often includes detailed studies, reports, and advice that influence decisions made by the City Council. Their contributions frequently inspire innovative services and improvements within Eugene.
Community involvement through these boards and commissions plays a significant role in advancing the Eugene City Council’s Strategic Plan goals, which include fostering community relationships and ensuring inclusivity for all, especially marginalized groups. This effort aims to create a community where everyone feels respected and valued.
Councilor Emily Semple of Ward 1 highlighted the importance of these volunteers, stating, “These dedicated volunteers provide a valuable liaison between Council and the community. By sharing their education and committee work, they inform the public and bring feedback to Council. It is this communication our city needs to facilitate understood, sensible, and effective work.”
A video explaining more about these volunteer opportunities is available for interested residents.
