There's still time to sign up for the Citizen's Academy! Would you like to learn more about federal, state, county and city government? Would you like more information on topics such as: the voting process in the city, how the city’s budget is created, how city departments are set up and how they work together? If so, residents of Homestead should sign up for the Citizen’s Academy.
The City of Homestead has teamed up with Florida International University to offer free government education courses to its residents. The Academy is designed to offer residents the opportunity to learn more about their city, give them a chance to meet the people responsible for providing city services, gain insight into how the city works and understand the role of each department. The classes are taught by professors and moderators from FIU and city staff.
"The Academy allows residents to increase their knowledge and understanding of the city, learn more about the services we provide and hopefully help them become more active participants in the community,” said Homestead City Manager Mike Shehadeh. The Academy runs once a week, for 7 weeks and is held in City Hall from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.
The next Academy will begin May 7 and is held every Wednesday for 7 weeks. If you are interested in attending the next Academy and would like to be contacted about reserving a spot, please fill in the requested information on the form below. If you have any questions regarding the Academy, please call 305-224-4485.
