Want a voice in the decisions that shape Bloomington? Serving on a City board or commission is a significant way to get involved in local government. Board and commission members advise the City Council, bring community voices forward and help turn ideas into action.
The City is currently seeking applicants for the Planning Commission and to fill young adult seats (ages 16–23) on the Human Rights Commission, Parks, Arts and Recreation Commission and Sustainability Commission.
No prior experience required, just a willingness to serve. Learn more about openings and how to apply at blm.mn/boards.
“Being a youth commissioner on the Human Rights Commission has shown me that our voices truly matter. Serving is a powerful way to stand up for what you believe in, connect with your community, and help create real, positive change.”

“Serving on a board or commission is more accessible than people think, and it truly matters. The Planning Commission gives residents a real voice, and I’ve seen public input change outcomes.”
