Class begins for the 10-week course on Thursday, August 8.
If you are looking for a closer look at Fulton County operations or to learn more about its services and taxes, then FCCU is for you. The Fulton County Citizens’ University (FCCU) is back in session. Registration is now open for residents interested in learning more about county operations.
The orientation class for Citizens’ University kicks off on Thursday, August 8 at 6 p.m. Meeting locations vary depending on the topic for that week, but most classes meet at the Fulton County Government Center at 141 Pryor Street SW in Downtown Atlanta.
The Fulton County Citizens’ University is a 10-week intensive training course that gives residents a comprehensive look at county government. In addition to getting an exclusive look behind the scenes of county operations, participants will also visit several Fulton County facilities including the Central Library and the new Big Creek Reclamation Water Plant.
The FCCU program educates participants on how Fulton County Government operates and how laws are proposed, passed and amended. Residents will learn how tax dollars are spent, meet with officials from Fulton County departments, and participate in interactive exercises.
The registration fee is $45, which helps defray the cost of the course materials, a graduation ceremony, a diploma, and a class shirt. The size of the class is limited to 30 citizens to ensure good one-on-one experiences. Student applicants can also apply, but they must be enrolled in high school and complete six classes to graduate from the FCCU program. Fees will be waived for students who have a parent registered in the class.
