See your City like never before! The Spring 2017 Jacksonville Citizen Academy is now accepting applications. Enrollment is free but space is limited. The Citizen Academy takes place every Wednesday in March from 4-6:30PM beginning on March 1, 2017.

Each week, the Academy takes Citizens to different areas of Jacksonville to learn about the many services the City offers and how they impact the lives of Citizens. Academy participants will go behind the scenes with Police and Fire Services and see firsthand the operations of other important areas of City operations.

The goal of the Citizen Academy is to show Citizens how their City works, promote active engagement in local government and to encourage participants to seek volunteer opportunities with the City’s many advisory boards.

To register online for the Spring 2017 Jacksonville Citizen Academy or to learn more, visit JacksonvilleNC.gov/CitizenAcademy. Registration ends February 17, 2017 at 5PM.
