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 year. There is no cost to participate, and a simple meal is provided at each in person session. Currently Citizen's Academy sessions take a hybrid approach with some evenings being held remotely allowing participants to participate from the comfort of their home or abroad and some sessions being in person to foster personal connection.
Sign-up for our Citizen's Academy Outreach mailing list to receive information on upcoming Citizen's Academies by emailing the County Executive Office or call 530-265-7040.
