CHJCC Seeking Candidates to Serve on Greater Crown Heights Community Boards

Following the strong participation and feedback at the recent Crown Heights Town Hall, the Crown Heights Jewish Community Council (CHJCC) is calling on qualified community members to step forward to serve on local Community Boards representing Greater Crown Heights.

Community Boards play a critical role in shaping neighborhood life. They advise on housing, land use, public safety, sanitation, transportation, and other quality-of-life issues that directly affect residents. Ensuring informed, engaged representation helps strengthen communication between residents and city agencies and contributes to more responsive local decision-making.

“Community Boards are where many neighborhood issues are first discussed and addressed,” said Shmuly Rosenstein, Acting Chairman of CHJCC. “Serving on a Community Board is an opportunity to contribute constructively and help represent the needs of the community.”

As the community’s elected council, CHJCC serves as the elected representative body for residents within the Atlantic–Church and Rochester–Bedford corridor. In that capacity, CHJCC plays a central coordinating role on community matters and encourages prospective Community Board candidates to work collaboratively with the organization to support coordination, open communication, and an understanding of community priorities.

This effort is non-partisan and community-focused, aimed at encouraging civic participation and strengthening local leadership. Community members who are interested in serving or learning more about Community Board opportunities are invited to reach out.
