The Seattle Department of Neighborhoods is currently recruiting to fill vacancies on the Community Involvement Commission (CIC).

The Community Involvement Commission advises the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods and other City departments on coordinated, citywide outreach and engagement activities. The Commission is dedicated to holding the City accountable for increasing participation and engagement – especially among communities that have been historically marginalized and underserved.

Commission members serve two-year terms and shall not serve more than two full, consecutive terms. Commissioners serve in a volunteer capacity and dedicate approximately three to six hours per month to their roles.

The Commission seeks members that are actively connected to a variety of diverse communities across Seattle. Ideally, candidates have a vision for how City government and local decision-makers involve and communicate with the public. 

Applications are currently being accepted on a rolling basis. To apply, please complete the online application and select Community Involvement Commission in the dropdown menu to indicate which board you are applying for.

For questions or additional support please contact Sonny Nguyen at Sonny.Nguyen@seattle.gov.

The City of Seattle is committed to promoting diversity in the city’s boards and commissions. Women, persons with disabilities, sexual and gender minorities, young persons, senior citizens, persons of color, and immigrants are encouraged to apply.
