REGISTRATION FOR THE CITIZENS ACADEMY CLASS OF 2023 IS NOW OPEN!

The Worthington Citizens Academy will kick off again this fall as an opportunity for Worthington residents to learn more about how their government works.  

The class will be held on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 - 9:00 p.m. beginning on September 20, 2023.  Each night will focus on a different facet of local government ranging from public safety, to parks and recreation, and economic development.  The full class schedule can be viewed here. 

The Citizens Academy is a chance for residents to learn more about their city government and become more connected to their community.   This seven-week program is an excellent way to educate residents, build positive relationships, increase communication between government officials and citizens, and inspire future municipal leaders and volunteers.
