COMMUNITY ACADEMY
The Making of a City
Program Information

 

The "Making of a City" is a unique opportunity for citizens to learn about the City of San Luis Obispo.  The 8-week program is designed to provide residents an overview of how local government works and the services provided by the City.  Informed citizens help to foster stronger working relationships between government and its citizens.

  • Attendance at all sessions is encouraged; there is no cost to attend the program.

  • Classes are open to all City residents of voting age.

  • Each week, participants will learn about a City department, meet the staff, learn what they do and how it's done.

  • Classes will be held on seven consecutive Thursday evenings (or as noted) from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m. at various City facilities, including City Hall, Parks & Recreation, Public Works, Community Development, and the Fire Department.

  • A field trip, graduation ceremony and lunch will be held on the Saturday morning following the last class session.

  • Class size will be limited so early registration is encouraged.
