Become a Tulsa Documenter
We’ll train you – and pay you – to attend public meetings and share what happened with neighbors all over Tulsa.
What is Tulsa Documenters?
Powered by the award-winning Documenters Network by City Bureau, we train and pay Tulsa residents to document local government meetings. You’ll learn new skills, get an inside look at how decisions get made in local government and help keep an eye on what our elected officials are up to.
How does it work?
Documenters earn $17 an hour to attend an in-person public meeting or $15 an hour to attend a virtual public meeting and take notes. These notes are edited, published and made available on our Documenters page.
Our goal is to capture what happens at local public government meetings and create a record of each meeting in Tulsa County.

Meet the Tulsa Documenters
Becoming a Tulsa Documenter has been an informative and rewarding experience. Since joining, I’ve had the opportunity to see how decisions and policies are made within our local government, many of which impact our daily lives as Tulsans. I’m glad I get to be a part of promoting transparency and civic engagement in my community, and I couldn’t recommend getting involved more highly.”

Tulsa Documenter
Becoming a Documenter with the Tulsa Flyer has given me an opportunity to meet more members of my community, learn who represents me and what they believe, and see how decisions that affect myself and my neighbors are being made. The program is full of welcoming individuals and it has been the perfect place for me to grow as both a writer and a constituent. My only regret is that I didn’t get involved sooner!”
