Mobile Citizens Academy Program Accepting Applications

The City of Mobile is now accepting applications for “C251: Citizens Academy,” it recently announced. Now twice yearly, this program aims to teach citizens more about how the city’s government functions over six weeks. It is intended to provide residents with an in-depth look at Mobile’s government through tours, hands-on demonstrations and presentations by city leaders. Participants will get an insider’s view of the city and its departments, encourage citizens to become involved in the community and enhance Mobilians’ ability to communicate effectively with their government. The application period of the popular program will close on September 6 at 5 p.m., and space is limited to 40. The program begins on September 18, with graduation taking place on October 23. Those previously on a waiting list may contact Community Affairs Manager Lesley D. Walker at phone: 251-208-7801 or email.
