Alachua County Citizens Academy Welcome MessageDear Alachua County Citizens:
Whether you are new to our community, or are a life-long resident, we strongly encourage you, your colleagues, family members, friends, and neighbors to participate in the Alachua County Citizens Academy.
Our Citizens Academy offers you an opportunity to participate in behind-the-scenes tours, hear lectures and interact with Alachua County officials from the Board of County Commissioners, Constitutional Offices, Judiciary, Library District, Health Department, and School Board.
Throughout the eight-week program, you will better understand the variety of discretionary and mandated services provided to you through your local government and learn how those services impact your quality of life. In order to graduate, participants are expected to attend at least six of the eight sessions.
Thank you for your interest in the Alachua County Citizens Academy!
Sincerely, The Alachua County Leadership Team
