For all those wanting to learn more about the community, the next Apache Junction Citizen Leadership Institute is scheduled for January-April 2021.

“This is your chance to learn about how municipal government works and find ways to engage in your community,” according to a release.

Any resident living within the city limits of Apache Junction, or a non-resident who works or volunteers in Apache Junction, is invited and encouraged to participate.

It’s an opportunity to give interested citizens an orientation for serving as possible future members on a city board or commission as well as being well-informed members of the community.

The free eight-session class will be held 6:30-9 p.m. every other Wednesday in the spring, beginning Jan. 13, in the city council chambers, 300 E. Superstition Blvd.

To register, go to ajcity.net/cli. If you have questions, call the public information office at 480-474-5080.
