DavenportU Citizens Academy is a nine‐week 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!
The Monday evening sessions begin with an introduction to city government and conclude with graduation at a City Council Meeting. In between, participants learn the basics of city government including community development processes, community policing, and budget planning. Participants learn about their city through interactive activities such as a day in the field with Public Works staff, police department simulations, tours of several city owned facilities, and various staff presentations.
