For anyone interested in learning about government and the legislative process, an internship is a great way to start. Interns get a firsthand view at how the City of San Diego runs, including public policy, intergovernmental affairs, budgeting, and public affairs. Applicants may send their resumes and a letter of interest to ChrisCate@sandiego.gov.
City Council meetings and meetings of City Council committees are open to the public. They are also broadcast live on television and streamed live on the web. Upcoming agendas are distributed before the meetings take place.
Community members are welcome to speak on docket items at the meetings, as well as on topics of their choice during the "Non-Agenda Public Comment" period of the meetings.

Each of San Diego's diverse neighborhoods is represented by an officially recognized community planning group.
Community planning groups provide official recommendations to the City on community goals and land development proposals. Their meetings also provide a forum for the community to discuss issues and events that affect the community.
Most planning groups hold meetings monthly. The meetings are always open to the public. Planning groups also hold annual elections to the group's executive committee.
You can find a link to your planning group in the "Community Groups" section of your community's page.
The City Planning & Community Investment website also has additional information about community planning groups.
If you are a community-minded individual interested in serving on a City board or commission, please contact me at ChrisCate@sandiego.gov.
Additional information about boards and commissions can be found here: City Boards and Commissions Website.
