Yours truly went through the program back in 2017 and learned alot. And then wrote about it here. My colleague Laura Glesby wrote about her more recent experience sitting through the then-online-only version of Democracy School last yearhere.

The Democracy School is agreat opportunity for New Haven residents to learn more about how their city government works, to engage with city officials and civic leaders on some of the key issues and challenges facing our communities, and to become more equipped and empowered to get involved in civic life and government, Mayor Elicker said in astatement sent along to the Independent encouraging New Haveners toapply.

Ultimately, New Haven is astronger city when more of our residents are actively engaged and involved in helping to move our city forward. The Democracy School is agreat place tostart.
