If volunteering to support your community is on your list of 2025 New Year's resolutions, consider applying to serve on a Kitsap County advisory group. Share your experience and insights to help support our communities; create plans and strategies to accommodate growth and development; and implement programs that ensure and improve quality of life.
Advisory group members are appointed by County Commissioners and play an essential role in local government, serving as conduits between residents, businesses, communities, county staff and commissioners. Their input helps direct the equitable distribution of funding and resources; guides the delivery of effective, efficient and accessible services; and shapes plans and policy reflecting the needs and vision of the people. The time commitment is only a few hours each month for most groups.
