The Citizens Academy is a ten session, interactive program, held on Wednesday evenings and two Saturday sessions (that include the PVE Energy & Environment Expo and a visit to the Athens Services Materials Recycling Facility) geared to learning about the operations of the City of Palos Verdes Estates. Each week will focus on a different aspect of PVE’s municipal government, which includes topics such as General Government, Public Safety, Finance, Development Services and Public Works.
Applicants are encouraged from all segments of the community. Enrollment for each class session is limited to 27 participants, 15 years or older, and must be PVE residents. For more information, visit the PVE city website.
