Purpose
Nevada County offers a Citizen’s Academy, which aims to acquaint the community with the various functions and services of County government. Citizen’s Academy is a ten week class, covering topics from Information Technology to Public Safety, that provides its participants with insight on local Government operations and the diverse services that help support a healthy, safe and vibrant community.
Class Details
The class takes place on consecutive Monday evenings (excluding holidays) each spring and fall. There is no cost to participate, and a simple meal is provided at each in person session. Citizens Academy is currently being held remotely and participants view each session from the comfort of their home.
