RESEDA NC AT LARGE & YOUNG ADULT MEMBER POSITIONS OPEN!
There’s three types of people, those who make things happen, those who let things happen, and those who wonder what happened. Don’t you want to be the first type?
Well, YOU CAN BE!
The RNC is your way to help make a difference in your community. From telling the city how you want development in your community to be done, to organizing cleanups, to working on problems currently facing your community like chronic homelessness and urban blight, to organizing events for the community’s youth and seniors, and initiating events like the annual Artwalk. The RNC is working to change things for the better, and we need your help to do it!
We currently have TWO Board Member positions open to be filled by active, dedicated community members who want Reseda to improve. These positions are for At- Large (2) and Young Adult Board Member Vacancies. Any Stakeholder interested in filling a vacancy on the Board shall submit a written application to the Secretary (secretary@resedacouncil.org) at any time before a vote is taken, and the application must specify the stakeholder category the applicant is running for.
https://resedacouncil.org/web1/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/RNC-Bylaws-Approved-11232020-1.pdf?x48066
We also have committees looking for volunteers to help such as the Planning and Land Use Management Committee that helps chart the course for Reseda’s development and evaluates and considers proposed developments in the community, or the Unhoused Neighbor Advocacy Committee which is advising the city on possible solutions to the current unhoused crisis.
If you would like to apply for one of the Board Member Seats or join one of our committees, please contact the RNC secretary at secretary@resedacouncil.org

STUDENT ADVENTURE PASSES
Metrolink is now offering free Student Adventure Passes to students of any age (as long as they show their school ID). They be purchased in-person at station kiosks or through their app and can be used anytime.
Metrolink is also extending their service times on their Antelope Valley Line. Trains will run almost every hour and later into the night as their switch from being a commuter train service to a regional one. This won’t directly impact our neighborhood or the Ventura County Line that serves yet, but their plan is to trial regional service on the AVL before applying the same changes to other lines (like the VCL).
