The 2017 Citizens' Academy will meet every Thursday from 6 p.m. till 8 p.m., August 31 through October 26. The program will be limited to a total of 30 participants to ensure a quality experience for all participants.
Meagan Benetti, a graduate of the 2016 class, shared this about her experience, "I loved the field trips and hearing about the budgets/structure of the departments, as well as hearing about the many functions of each department. The presentations were really well done and I learned a tremendous amount about all the work that goes into making Bloomington a great city to live in."
