NeighborhoodCollege
Neighborhood College is a one-of-a-kind
collaboration of workshops and hands-on
learning experiences brought to you by multiple
city departments. The intent of the program is to
provide each participant with knowledge about
the city’s programs, services and resources;
the tools to access those resources; and the
skills and ideas with which to build positive,
sustainable communities.
Everyone is welcome! Regardless of whether
you’re a seasoned community leader or a new
resident just looking to get to know your new
home better, Neighborhood College is flexible
enough to meet the needs of all Phoenix
residents! We hope to see you at one of our many
free workshops - and encourage your neighbors
to do the same.
There are three ways to register for a workshop:
1) register online, 2) email neighborhood.
