Nevada County is now accepting applications for its 7th year of Citizen's Academy! Citizen's Academy offers a behind the scenes look at County government, including presentations from elected officials and department leaders. Participants will learn from over twenty presentations that cover a wide range of services from A (Agriculture) to Z (Zoning).
Citizen's Academy participant and Grass Valley Mayor Lisa Swarthout, said, “I thoroughly enjoyed the Nevada County Citizens Academy. It was great to get such a close look at the different areas of County Government.“
Citizen's Academy takes place on ten consecutive Monday evenings from 5:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. starting in January through March. Specific dates and topics for each session of Citizen's Academy can be found on Nevada County's website or on the Citizen's Academy flyer.
