Applications are open now—but spots are limited and filling fast! The City Services Academy is a comprehensive, hands-on learning experience that gives participants the opportunity to interact with City staff and learn about the challenges facing municipal government today. Participants will take part in case studies, site tours, class discussions, and hands-on experiences. They will also have opportunities to meet with the City Manager, Community Development Director, Police Chief, Public Works Director, City Librarian, Parks and Recreation Director, and a member of our City Council to learn about the City day-to-day operations, and how it implements new programs. City Services Academy is free to all participants. Participants must be sixteen or older, live or work in the City of San Mateo, and have an interest in City government. Meetings will be held Wednesday evenings, 6-9 p.m. from August 20 through Nov. 12 (excluding Sept. 24 and Oct. 1). The Academy will be held at different locations throughout the course of the program.
