Citizens Academy
Information
The class is a fun, hands-on, interactive learning experience about City services, programs and responsibilities. Members will learn about challenges to city government, budget limitations, day-to-day operations and state mandates. The course will consist of informative presentations and interesting tours that focus on City departments and functions. Settings will be casual and comfortable.
The number one goal of our Academy is to develop well-informed citizens, one class at a time. Hopefully our graduates will take their specialized knowledge of how local government works back to their respective neighborhoods to generate interest so that others will participate in future sessions.
- The class is FREE and meals/snacks will be provided; please notify us if you have any dietary restrictions.
- Participants must commit to attend all scheduled sessions.
- Classes are limited to 16 participants; residents living within the city limits will be taken first then ETJ residents will be accepted until the class reaches the maximum number
