Volunteers Needed For Lakewood Community Relations Commission

LAKEWOOD, OH — Volunteers are needed to work with the Lakewood Community Relations Advisory Commission. Lakewood City Council put out the call for helpers on Thursday.

The Community Relations Advisory Commission promotes respect for diversity and equity and fosters bonds of mutuality between groups and individuals in Lakewood. There are several signature outreach events annually that are put on by the commission, like the Welcome to Lakewood event. Members of the Community Relations Advisory Commission also work as mentors for the city's new Youth Council.

Residents interested in joining the commission will need to submit a resume and cover letter, explaining their interest in the group and why they value diversity. The packet can then be turned over to the Lakewood Clerk of Council.

Applicants must be residents of Lakewood and must be available to attend monthly meetings. There are five openings on the commission and each position is individually appointed by members of Lakewood City Council. All positions will remain open until filled, a city official told Patch.

More information on the commission and applying is available online.

Applications can be mailed to Maureen Bach, Clerk of Council, at:
