Now accepting applications for the
2020 Mayor's City Academy
The Mayor’s City Academy is a free, 11-week civic engagement program that offers residents a look inside City government. Participants will tour facilities like the Amway Center, Water Conserve II and the Orlando Police Department Headquarters; they will meet the people that make the city run, from those who test out sanitary sewer lines to those who shape the policies that affect daily life; they will explore the many volunteer opportunities where they can make an impact on their city and discover the many resources and programs available to city residents.
The deadline to submit an application is Friday, December 20, 2019.
The 2020 Mayor’s City Academy begins on Thursday, February 20, 2020 at 5:30 p.m., and will be held each Thursday evening through April 30, 2020.

On October 28, 2019, AARP certified the City of Orlando as an Age-Friendly Community.
A survey being conducted through February allows residents the opportunity to share how accessible, walkable, inclusive and overall, how age-friendly they believe our city is. This information will be used over the next two years to develop an action plan on how to make our city the most age-friendly community possible.
