Friday Nights with Chelsea Recreation

Chelsea Recreation & Cultural Affairs Programs are part of the City of Chelsea’s efforts to involve residents in local government through organized boards and commissions. The programs operate under the auspices of Chelsea Recreation & Cultural Affairs and include the Community Recreation Advisory Board and the Chelsea Youth Commission as specific boards connected to this department. These boards function within a broader city structure that uses resident boards, commissions, and committees to support effective, responsible, and efficient government by channeling community expertise, providing forums for dialogue, and broadening resident participation in self-government.

The City of Chelsea utilizes resident boards, commissions, and committees to channel the resources of expertise available in the community to complement the judgment of the council and professional staff. These groups also provide more available forums for dialogue and broaden the base of resident participation in the processes of self-government. The Community Recreation Advisory Board and the Chelsea Youth Commission are two of the boards that operate under Chelsea Recreation & Cultural Affairs within this structure.
