Community Information Academy 2025 In-Person
Go behind the scenes with Estes Park’s town government!
Ever wondered what goes on during a typical day at Town Hall? How does our local government operate? What facilities does the Town of Estes Park own? All of these questions and many more will be answered during the 2025 Community Information Academy.
The Town of Estes Park’s biennial Community Information Academy (CIA)--formerly Citizens Information Academy--is a seven-week series designed to familiarize participants with Estes Park’s municipal government and encourage active participation from community members. During CIA, participants meet with Town Trustees and staff and expand their knowledge of overall Town operations. The course reviews the responsibilities of Town departments including Public Works, Utilities, Internal Services, Community Development, Finance, the Town Administrator’s Office, Town Clerk and Human Resources, Events and Visitor Services, Police, and the Municipal Court.
CIA consists of six weekly three-hour classroom sessions, as well as a Town facilities tour, and is free of charge. Classes will take place Wednesday afternoons from 1-4 PM at the Estes Valley Library, beginning February 5 and continuing through March 26. Five sessions will cover the Town departments listed above, and a sixth will focus on the local Special Districts that include Estes Park. There will be no session March 19.
A short application is required prior to admission, and participants are expected to attend all sessions. Priority for admission to the program is given to Town residents, but individuals who live outside Town boundaries are welcome to attend if space is available. Minimum class size is 15; the maximum is 22. Please contact Public Information Officer Kate Miller at kmiller@estes.org or 970-577-3701 for more information and to request an electronic application. Applications will be accepted through January 23, 2025. The Estes Valley Library and the Town of Estes Park are partners in offering this civic engagement opportunity.
