The unpaid positions require in-person board meetings and an expected six to eight hours of service each month.
Borough President Antonio Reynoso's office is accepting applications for Brooklyn's 18 community boards through February 8, 2027, at 11:59 PM.
NYC residents age 16 and older can apply to a board serving a community where they live, work or have a significant interest. The boards weigh in on housing development, transportation projects, the city budget and services such as sanitation.
The application season opened October 19, 2026. New applicants submit a form and then have a brief virtual conversation with the borough president's team. The office notifies applicants after selections are made. Members must also join a committee and attend its meetings.
