The Inside Scoop
City Academy 2009
Greensboro is taking applications for its citizen education program, CityAcademy.
Having been a member of last year’s class, I’d encourage potential council members, city wonks, neighborhood advocates and anyone who cares about their city to take some time to participate.
The course is held once a week from September to mid-November. Every week has a different topic in city government. You get a behind-the-scenes look at city departments – like police, fire, trash collections and budget.
The program is free.
Plus, it’s a nice way to meet people outside your normal social circle. Last year’s class had everything from young professionals to retired community volunteers. They hailed from every corner of the city.
Get the application at the city’s Web site, www.greensboro-nc.gov/residents/academy. Applications are due by July 17.
