Become a Student Representative to City Committees

In the year 2000, the Coeur d'Alene City Council passed an ordinance allowing youth representation on City Boards, Commissions, and Committees. Service on these boards gives high school students, who are roughly between the ages of 14 and 18, an unprecedented opportunity to learn about city government, special projects, and to become involved in the Coeur d'Alene community.

If you are interested in serving as a student representative or alternate on any of the following committees, or know of a student who might be interested, please submit a Student Data Sheet along with a letter of recommendation.

A question often asked is: What is the time commitment for a student representative?  It depends on the board, commission, or committee, but for the most part, city boards meet once a month, for not much longer than an hour or two. To find out more about an individual board/ commission/ committee, visit the city’s website: www.cdaid.org and look under the individual board and its agenda, and perhaps even talk to one of the committee liaisons. 

Applications will be accepted until Friday, September 27, 2024, at 5:00 p.m. by email, U.S. Mail, or may be hand delivered to City Hall.
