Student Positions Open for City of Edina Commissions
Edina, Minn., April 19, 2019 – The City of Edina seeks student applications for its eight commissions.

Commissions include:
Arts & Culture Commission
Community Health Commission
Energy & Environment Commission
Heritage Preservation Commission
Human Rights & Relations Commission
Parks & Recreation Commission

“It’s important to have student commissioners on our commissions. They bring a youth perspective and a
lot of times they’re involved in clubs that connect with the work that the City is doing,” said Community
Engagement Coordinator MJ Lamon. “This opportunity is available to rising sophomores, juniors and
seniors. You don’t need to be a topic expert for the commission of interest; it’s an opportunity to learn
about government and how it operates.”
Applicants must be entering Grades 10-12 for the 2019-2020 school year and be enrolled in Edina High
School or live in Edina to participate. Appointments are yearlong and begin Sept. 1. Applications are due
May 22. To learn more or to apply, visit EdinaMN.gov/apply_bc.
