UPDATE: The City of West Sacramento has just announced the launch of its free 2026 Community Academy, a unique program aimed at educating residents about local government operations. Kicking off in March 2026, this initiative promises to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of city services and infrastructure.
Starting in just a few months, the seven-session academy will feature interactive presentations and discussions led by city officials, including insights from the Police Department and Fire Department. Residents will gain access to crucial information about water treatment processes, roadway project planning, and the essential roles of various city departments, including the City Clerk’s office.
City officials emphasize that this program is more than just an educational opportunity; it is a vital step toward enhancing community engagement and transparency. Past graduates have been empowered to advocate for city programs and even join advisory commissions, illustrating the impact of this initiative on local governance.
The application portal opened on January 2, and all West Sacramento residents are encouraged to apply. Interested individuals can find the application and additional program details on the City’s official website at www.cityofwestsacramento.org.
With the 2026 Community Academy, West Sacramento aims to foster a well-informed community that is actively involved in municipal affairs. This is a crucial moment for residents to step forward and engage with their local government—don’t miss your chance to be part of this transformative experience!
