Neighborhood Councils are an important way to give your local community a voice. By engaging with your Neighborhood Council as a Youth Representative with the Los Feliz Neighborhood Council, you can:
Improve the quality of life in your community.
Represent your neighborhood at City Hall.
Monitor the delivery of city services.
Partner with city departments such as Transportation, Planning, Street Services, Police and Fire to prioritize local projects and work to resolve public safety issues.
If you’re interested in making a difference, we have a place for you! Follow the steps below to register to run as a Youth Representative:
