Citizen's Academy

Our Citizens Academy is an interactive, immersive experience designed to give our city residents an up-close look at their City government in action. Citizens Academy is held once per year and is open to city residents ages 18 and older. Class size is limited.

This civic education program, coordinated by the City’s Communications department, is an effort to provide our citizens with a deeper understanding of how their city government works, and give them more information about the daily operations and services provided on the local government level. The class meets weekly for 8 weeks.  

The application period for the 2024 Citizens Academy will open in October 2023, and class members are selected by early December. Additional details will be released when the application period opens.
