The city of Goleta has extended the deadline to Sept. 6 to apply to serve on a board or commission.

The Parks and Recreation Commission and Public Engagement Commission are both looking to fill a youth position. Teens, ages 15-18 are encouraged to apply.

The positions are a good way to get involved with the city, learn more about local government, and have your voice heard, the city said.

Goleta is also looking for applicants for an opening on the Design Review Board.
