2013 Citizens' Academy Class

To encourage more civic involvement through a basic understanding of City services, the HAND Department developed the Citizens' Academy.

The Academy is a nine-week program that provides thirty participants with an interactive learning experience about City services, programs and responsibilities.

Through the sessions with various City Departments, the participants learn about the challenges to city government, budget limitations, day-to-day operations and mandates.

Please feel free to submit an Online Application. The application will put you on the 2013 Citizens' Academy waiting list and you will be contacted in the spring of 2013. In the meantime, you may contact Vickie Provine via phone (349.3505) or email (provinev@bloomington.in.gov) should you have further questions.

2013 Classes will be held every Thursday, August 15 through October 10 - 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. Registration deadline - Monday, July 15, 2013.
