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.
