The City of Goldsboro is accepting applications for its 2025 Citizens’ Academy, which will be held Jan. 9 through Feb. 27, 2025.

The application deadline is Oct. 31.

The Citizen’s Academy was established to create opportunities for residents to participate and learn more about the operation of city government.

This program serves as an excellent primer for residents interested in serving on City boards and commissions or as an elected official.

The seven-week course features presentations from each City department. Sessions will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 on Thursdays. The final session will be a graduation ceremony.

Applications are available online at goldsboronc.gov/public-affairs-department/2025-citizens-academy-application/ or at City Hall, 200 N. Center St. Completed applications must be received and/or postmarked by Oct. 31.
