The first step to attending a meeting is determining which Neighborhood Council you are a stakeholder in. Click "Where Is My Neighborhood Council?" from the menu on your right, and then enter your street address.

If there is no Neighborhood Council in your area, and you are in the City of Los Angeles, there may be an opportunity to form a Neighborhood Council for your local community. Contact us for more information.

The EmpowerLA Leadership Institute is designed to help stakeholders within the community be more effective in making their voices heard and making a difference in their neighborhoods. These workshops are FREE to all. Topics include leadership development, cross-cultural skills, the nuts and bolds of City government processes, conflict resolution, communications, and in-depth workshops on issues such as planning and transportation, sustainability, child health, education and economic development.

Neighborhood Councils create events and projects that are unique to the needs of their communities. From community health clinics in Pico-Union, to greening events in Downtown and other urban neighborhoods, Neighborhood Councils are always looking for volunteers. Start giving back to your community! Volunteer now!

Most Board Member positions on Neighborhood Councils are elected positions. The next election is going on now through June of 2010. Running for election doesn’t require any special qualifications or a lot of money. Learn what it takes to be a Board member on a Neighborhood Council at the EmpowerLA Leadership Institute or at one of our Election Outreach sessions.
