Volunteers also participate in numerous community, service, and civic organizations dedicated to the betterment of the Village.

If you're interested in serving the community, please choose from one of the following areas based on your interest:

Apply to serve on one of Park Forest's Board and Commissions

Park Forest has a host of boards and commissions, each dedicated to a different area of focus, from youth programming to senior citizen issues to environmental focus. To become an official Park Forest Board or Commission member, you must first apply and have your application reviewed by Park Forest's mayor, who will determine your application. Please also note that some applicants may not be able to serve immediately due to some boards and commissions not having seats available. New members will be selected for vacancies as they occur.
