Applications for the 2025 City Citizens Academy are being accepted beginning today through July 31.
The academy, which debuted last year, is an opportunity for Bartlesville residents to learn more about City operations, services, departments and programs.
“The Citizens Academy is a way we can provide the public an in-depth look at where their tax dollars actually go,” said Assistant City Manager Laura Sanders. “The academy is focused on educating residents, business owners and interested persons of Bartlesville on how daily city government operations contribute to building a better community.”
The program is offered at no cost and will take place biweekly on Thursday afternoons, beginning Sept. 4 and running through Nov. 13. The course culminates with a graduation ceremony during the Dec. 1 City Council meeting.
Applications are available to those 18 and up who meet one or more of the following:
- Resident of Bartlesville
- Own a business in Bartlesville
- Employed full-time in Bartlesville
The academy is capped at 20 participants. For more information or to apply, visit www.cityofbartlesville.org.
