Deadline to Apply Is July 19, 2013

 

DURHAM, N.C. -  Residents looking to play a more active role in their
neighborhoods and the Durham community will get their chance to learn
how at the 2013 Durham Neighborhood College, a class designed
specifically for residents to learn about the organization, operations,
and services of their local City and County governments.

 

Applications are now available for the 2013 Durham Neighborhood College.
This series of classes, co-sponsored by the City of Durham and County of

overseeing key City and County services.

 

The final day to apply for this year's session is Friday, July 19, 2013.
All applicants must be current in their vehicle and property taxes at

The classes will be held on nine Thursday nights beginning September 5,

College is limited to 30 people. Applications will be accepted to create
a diverse participant population from as many Durham neighborhoods as
possible as well as residents living outside the city limits. 

 

A light meal is served prior to the start of each class and sessions are
held at City and County facilities. There is a $30 fee for residents
accepted into the program and a limited number of scholarships are
available if needed. Area high school students ages 15 and up, as well
as Latino residents, are particularly encouraged to apply.
