Throughout the course, participants will engage with the Yavapai County Board of Supervisors, County leaders, and fellow citizens in a collaborative and informative manner. By course completion, participants will possess an enhanced understanding of the structural framework and operations of various County departments that contribute to community well-being.
The Citizens Academy is free of charge and open to Yavapai County residents aged 18 or older. This comprehensive eight-class program will run from 9/7/23 through 10/19/23, located at 1015 Fair St in Prescott, from 5:30 PM to 7:30 PM, and will include dinner. With a capacity of 20 attendees, registration will be conducted on a first-come, first-served basis.
