Apply now to become a borough assembly member. Applications are currently open until November 29, 2024.
What are Borough Assemblies?
During The People's Money Idea Generation sessions, thousands of ideas are shared by community members on how to address pressing issues. To review and evaluate the ideas, The Civic Engagement Commission convenes New Yorkers representing the diversity of each NYC borough into Borough Assemblies.
Borough Assemblies are comprised of up to 25 residents per borough. Assembly members meet for six sessions to deliberate on the ideas submitted, prioritize projects that address the needs of the borough residents, and identify the final ideas to be placed on the borough ballots.
Who can be a Borough Assembly Member?
Anybody resident of NYC, 11 years and older, regardless of immigration or incarceration status, can apply to be a borough assembly member (minors require parental approval if selected).
How do members get selected?
Borough Assembly members are New York City residents who are selected through a random selection process to be representative of the diversity of each borough. Demographics considered are Age, Race, Ethnicity, Gender Identity, and Education.
