Share your voice and make an impact!

The Community Panel program is a volunteer opportunity with the City of Burlington that brings residents, business owners, and property owners (ages 14+) together to shape City services, projects, and policies. Through small, high-impact discussions, participants share their lived experiences and perspectives to help ensure City initiatives reflect the needs of the community. The feedback gathered from these panels plays an important role in informing decisions and improving how Burlington serves its residents.

  • The Community Panel is open to residents and Burlington business and property owners aged 14 years and older, of all genders, cultures, identities, and abilities.
