The Human Relations Commission advises the Mayor and City Council and assists City departments on ways:

• to eliminate prejudice and discrimination;

• in which people from different cultural backgrounds can be made to feel at home in the community; and,

• in which information on human relations topics can be disseminated, including conducting surveys and studies, convening forums, seminars and workshops, and sponsoring special event and award recognitions.

The Tempe Human Relations Commission is composed of 11 adult members who are Tempe residents, as well as up to two youth members. Terms are for three years for the adult members. To serve as a youth member, the youth must be a resident of the City and be between fourteen (14) and eighteen (18) years old at the time of appointment or reappointment. The term for youth members shall begin on September 1 of each year and shall end on May 31 of the following year. Youth members may serve up to two full one-year terms.

The Human Relations Commission usually meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m., at the Tempe Public Library, Second Floor Conference Room, 3500 S. Rural Rd., Tempe, AZ 85282 or virtually on Microsoft Teams.
