Become a Student Representative

The City of Coeur d’Alene is seeking youth representation on City Commissions, Boards, and Committees. Service on these boards gives high school students between the ages of 14-18 an unprecedented opportunity to learn about city government, special projects, and to become involved in the community.

If you are interested in serving as a student representative on any of the following committees, or know of a student who might be interested, please visit www.cdaid.org/volunteer and download an application.  The deadline for applying is Friday, October 3.  Possible committees on which you might serve are:

• Library Board
• Arts Commission
• Parks & Recreation Commission
• Pedestrian & Bicycle Advisory Commitee
• Urban Forestry Committee

A question that gets asked a lot is: What is the time commitment for a student representative? It depends on the board/ commission/ committee, but for the most part, City boards meet once a month, for not much longer than an hour or two.
