What is The Vallejo Citizens Academy?

The Vallejo Citizens Academy is an 11-week* interactive educational course aimed at helping Vallejo residents understand more about City government and, specifically, how the City of Vallejo operates. We hope that with this information, individuals feel more empowered to participate in Vallejo through their day-to-day work, in the political landscape, or by spreading information to their neighbors. The Citizens Academy will give residents a deeper dive into all City Departments and provide information that residents may not have realized is part of the City’s operations.

City departments that will be included are:

• City Manager’s Office and City Clerk’s Office
• City Attorney’s Office
• Vallejo Fire Department
• Vallejo Police Department
• Public Works Department
• Water Department
