Become a community partner and help update the Comprehensive Plan!

The Philadelphia City Planning Commission seeks community partners to help update the Comprehensive Plan. These neighborhood and community groups will help lead community engagement for Phila2050: Planning Together.

Community partners will help Philadelphians share their stories, imagine the future of our city, and work with the Planning Commission to develop ideas on how to achieve these goals. This role is compensated, and there are 9-month and 18-month partnership opportunities available.

To be eligible, community partners must:

  • Work within Philadelphia and serve Philadelphia residents.
  • Have 501(c)(3) status or have a 501(c)(3) fiscal sponsor.
  • Be able to complete program activities within the established program period.
  • Send two staff members or community volunteers to a six-week training course with the Citizens Planning Institute.

If you’d like to become a community partner or recommend an organization to be a partner, fill out our interest form.
