Overview
Applications for the Fall 2026 City Academy will open in August.
City Academy participants will learn about the many responsibilities and functions of the City Government and the relationships between City Departments, the community, and partner agencies. During the nine-week program, the Academy's goal is to educate the public and increase awareness, provide an inside look into government operations, and develop a better understanding of their role in city government. This program will also prepare individuals for public service on a board, a commission, or a task force and learn about other ways to become involved and active in supporting the community.

Testimonials
- As a final evaluation, I truly found all of the presentation content to be informative and presenters to be enthusiastic. I learned more than I anticipated! I appreciate the opportunity to access the slides for further reference. While it would be been great to be in person, it was still a wonderful virtual session thanks to great management of the agenda:-) - Anonymous, Fall 2021
- The City Academy was a great opportunity to view all levels of our City government and services. More importantly, the Academy has empowered me as a citizen to lead from my corner of the City. - Claudette M
