What Board/Commission are you?

This short quiz is designed to help Burlington residents find a city board or commission that aligns with their interests, skills, and availability. With just a few quick questions, it highlights where your perspective could add real value—whether that’s housing and development, parks and open space, public safety, arts and culture, or one of the many other areas that keep Burlington running. There’s no right or wrong path here; it’s simply a tool to help you explore opportunities to get involved and make a meaningful contribution to your community.

Most boards and commissions accept new members through an annual appointment process led by the City Council, typically in late spring or early summer. Some seats also open up throughout the year as terms expire or vacancies occur. If a board sparks your interest, keep an eye on the City’s openings page or reach out directly to learn more about upcoming opportunities and what the application process looks like. It’s a straightforward way to step into local service and help shape Burlington’s future.
