Applications now are being accepted for DavenportU, the City of Davenport’s 10-session Citizens Academy.
Each year, up to 15 Davenport residents are selected into the program to learn about all areas of city government. The Spring 2025 cohort begins on Monday, March 31.
“I look forward to meeting Davenport’s most engaged citizens in each year’s cohort,” Davenport Mayor Mike Matson said in a news release. “Even long-time residents of Davenport can learn something new at DavenportU.”
Each session takes residents behind the scenes of city government with interactive experiences, tours and presentations. From community and economic development to public safety and parks, DavenportU participants move around the city to learn about the inner workings of each department.
DavenportU concludes with a graduation ceremony at the Davenport City Council meeting on Wednesday, May 28.
Applications for the Davenport 2025 Spring Cohort will be accepted online here through Feb. 21. Those residents accepted into the program will be notified via email following the application deadline.
