Community Engagement

Main Content

Clackamas County offers opportunities to keep people informed and share input on decisions that affect their communities. Whether it’s asking questions, giving feedback, or staying up to date, these efforts help bring a range of perspectives into County programs and services, including from people who have been less represented in past engagement.

There are several ways to get involved, including advisory boards and commissions (ABCs), Community Planning Organizations (CPOs), and the Hamlets and Villages program—all of which offer ways to stay connected and take part in local decision-making. The County also offers additional opportunities throughout the year, including community events, surveys, focus groups, and more.

Our Programs

Advisory Boards and Commissions (ABCs)

Offering community members the opportunity to become involved in specific activities and goals of their county. What is your interest? From arts to budget to children — the County wants your input on policy development.

Community Planning Organizations (CPOs)

Advising the Board of County Commissioners on land use matters affecting their communities. CPOs are notified of proposed land use actions and legislative changes within their boundaries. They may review these applications and provide recommendations to the Board.

Hamlets and Villages

Clackamas County initiated the Hamlet and Village Program as an offshoot of Complete Communities Program in 2006. It was in response to grassroots efforts by community members to become more involved with county government and to help support their community.
