City of Jackson TN

Neighborhood Academy

Overview

Neighborhood Academy is an eight-month program for the City of Jackson residents. Each monthly meeting will focus on different areas of local government and how residents can participate in city processes. It will serve as a way to build trust and empower residents to influence city decisions, programs, and policies. By the end, new neighborhood champions across the city will know how to effect change.

Commitment

Neighborhood Academy will begin in April. It will be one two-hour session per month until November when we will hold the closing session and graduation.

The meetings will be on the second Tuesday of the month; the preference of the majority of our applicants will determine the time. A tentative schedule is below. Applicants must attend six of the eight sessions to complete the program.
