Davenport Citizens Academy is a ten-session program aimed at connecting citizens to their local government. If you have ever been curious about how the City prioritizes projects or how heavy a Firefighters turnout gear is – this academy could be for you!
Sessions run from 6:00 p.m. - 8:30 p.m., starting with an introduction to city government and concluding with graduation at a City Council meeting. In between, participants will learn the basics of city government as well as community development processes, community policing, and budget planning.
Applications for the 2024 Cohort are now closed. Enrollment is limited and participants must be 18 years of age or older. Attendance to all ten sessions is highly encouraged. See below for full schedule details and to apply today.
Application submission does not guarantee your spot in the cohort as space is limited. Acceptance status notification will be sent out by March 8, 2024 to the email provided in your application.
