Sarasota County Civics 101: Your ticket to local government know-how

June 19, 2017 by Post

Civics 101 students at the Sarasota County Emergency Operations Center in February. The class is free and open to all who live or work in Sarasota County.

SARASOTA COUNTY- Sarasota County will continue offering a backstage pass to residents through its popular Civics 101 program. “Act I: Setting the Stage” will begin July 27 and continue on Thursday evenings (6-8:15 p.m.) through Sept. 14. The location will change for each class.

The class is an encore performance of the module that was offered in February, and features county departments like Communications, Financial Management, Economic Development, Planning and Development Services and more.
Presentations are designed to enhance awareness of how Sarasota County Government operates.
“The class is usually a mix of people who enroll because they want a better understanding of how their tax dollars are spent, and people who are just looking for an interesting way to spend their time,” says Sarasota County Community Outreach Specialist Miranda Lansdale, who coordinates the program.
There is no cost to register for the course; materials and light refreshments are provided. Anyone who lives or works in Sarasota County is eligible to participate, although module enrollment is limited to 35 students.
Applications are available at scgov.net, keyword: “Civics 101.” Interested parties may also call the Sarasota County Contact Center at 941-861-5000 or email neighbor@scgov.net.

 

Sarasota County prohibits discrimination in all services, programs or activities.
