The city of Covington is accepting applications for five volunteer openings on the Human Services Commission. The commission assesses the needs of youth and families within the community, recommends human service grant funding and develops policies and programs to assist with those goals.

The commission meets the second Thursday of each month at 6:30 p.m. Positions are open to adults living or working inside the Covington city limits or living within a three mile radius of city limits.  Two of the five openings are for youth applicants between the ages of 14-18 at the start of their terms residing in or within a three-mile radius of the city of Covington.

An application can be found on the city’s website.

Applications are due by Friday, Feb. 28, at 5 p.m., and should be submitted to the attention of senior deputy city clerk Joan Michaud.
