Become a Student Representative

The City of Coeur d’Alene is seeking youth representation on City Commissions, Boards, and Committees. Service on these boards gives high school students between the ages of 14 and 18 an unprecedented opportunity to learn about city government, special projects, and to become involved in the community.

If you are interested in serving as a student representative on any of the following committees, or know a student who might be, please download an application (PDF). Possible committees on which you might serve are:

• Library Board
• Arts Commission
• Parks & Recreation Commission
• Pedestrian & Bicycle Advisory Committee
• Urban Forestry Committee

A question that gets asked a lot is: What is the time commitment for a student representative?

Answer: It depends on the board/ commission/ committee, but for the most part, City boards meet once a month, for not much longer than an hour or two.
