About the City’s Volunteer Advisory Boards:

The City of Lake Worth has a number of advisory boards which provide assistance to the City Commission. Most meet once a month and only require a few hours of a volunteer’s time. All members are selected by the Mayor and City Commission. Board meetings are open to the public.

If you have experience in a certain field or are interested in serving our City as a volunteer board member click on this link or send an email to Olivia Brown, the volunteer coordinator: obrown@lakeworth.org

However, please note:

• C-51 Canal Advisory Committee is inactive.
• Recreation Advisory Board (RAB) hasn’t had a quorum or even met in almost 9 years (but there remains hope of resurrecting the RAB).
• Sister City Board no longer exists. It was ‘Sunset’ (or eliminated) by the City Commission earlier this year for not reaching a quorum since early 2016.

Would you like to help bring the RAB back to life once again?

Contact the City’s volunteer coordinator (contact information above) or call/email your elected representative(s), tell them why you’re interested and learn more about how to be nominated to the board of your choosing.
