"Be the change you wish to see in your community."
ABOUT THE DEKALB COMMUNITY ACADEMY
The DeKalb Community Academy is an initiative aimed at empowering communities and fostering partnerships through education on policy, zoning, land-use, and other planning-related matters. Our goal is to advance the vision of a livable, equitable, sustainable, beautiful, and prosperous DeKalb County. The Academy will eventually serve all districts within unincorporated DeKalb County through a series of trainings and educational resources.
COMMUNITY 101
The “Community 101” program is a newly launched training under the DeKalb Community Academy and is designed to provide tailored training to residents in unincorporated DeKalb, equipping them with essential knowledge about the services offered by the DeKalb County Planning & Sustainability Department.
