A great thing about being inside city government is that the power a regular citizen has becomes much clearer. This will be good to know after my internship is over. For example, today I found out that any adult can join boards and commissions for various city programs. Arts and culture, aviation, planning and development, and parks and recreation are just a few. If you are interested in joining a board or commission you should go to http://phoenix.gov/citygovernment/boards/index.html. Under A-Z you will find every board available. Some of them have maximum positions though, so some might not be available. If this is something you are serious about, I would recommend making an appointment with your council member, and if you persuade them that you should be on the board, they can make a recommendation to the approval committee.
