CITIZENS’ ACADEMY

The City of Bethlehem is proud to extend to its residents an invitation to attend the CITIZENS’ ACADEMY.

The CITIZENS’ ACADEMY offers City residents who are interested in becoming more involved in local government and its activities, the opportunity to learn more about what city government does, and offers direct insight to the various city operations.

The program seeks to increase transparency in the way the City operates, while at the same time, begin to develop closer relationships between the City of Bethlehem residents and City Hall, through mutual understanding and cooperation.

Together we can expand the city’s volunteer capacity to build a new generation of leaders in Bethlehem.
