Volunteer Profile
The City of Lake Forest encourages dedicated and civic-minded
residents to participate in their local government. The first step
for any resident interested in serving the City in an elected or
appointed position is to complete a Volunteer
Profile Sheet
 (64k - 3 pages). Profile Sheets may
also be obtained from the Office of the City Manager.
An additional page(s) or a resume may be attached to the
Volunteer Profile Sheet if more space is needed to answer any of the
questions or to provide a more complete picture of a candidate's
background and experience.
Completed Volunteer Profile Sheets for any position may be
delivered or mailed to City Hall, Office of the City Manager, 220
East Deerpath, Lake Forest. Volunteer Profile Sheets for individuals appointed to City
positions become public information and are filed at the Lake Forest
Library and City Hall.
For additional information regarding the process of interviewing
and selecting candidates for appointed positions, please contact the
Office of the City Manager at 847-810-3672 or the organization of
interest.
Youth Volunteer Profile
The City of Lake Forest offers an opportunity to Lake
Forest youth to have a unique experience with their local
government by serving on a board or commission. Civic-minded
students who will be high school seniors during their year
of service are appointed by the Lake Forest Mayor and work
alongside other community volunteers whose dedicated work
continues to ensure that Lake Forest remain a special place.
This involvement with their local government helps them
develop lifelong leadership and business skills.
The first step for a student interested in serving the
City in an appointed position is to complete a
Youth Volunteer Profile
Sheet
(87k - 3 pages). Profile Sheets
may also be obtained from the Office of the City Manager at
Lake Forest City Hall (220 E. Deerpath) or the office of
CROYA (Committee Representing Our Young Adults) located at
400 E. Hastings Road. Completed Profile Sheets
should be returned to City Hall or CROYA. The Profile Sheets
for individuals appointed to City positions become public
information and are filed at City Hall.
To accompany the completed Profile Sheet, students
applying for an appointment are required to submit a
one-page essay explaining why they would like to serve and
what benefits they and the City will derive from this
experience. A letter of reference should also be provided.
For additional information regarding the process of
interviewing and selecting candidates for appointed
positions, please contact City Manager Robert R. Kiely, Jr.
at 847-810-3672.
Upon submitting an application and letter of
recommendation, interested students will be interviewed by a
representative of the City and past youth volunteers.
