The City of Hanahan is proud to welcome you to the Hanahan Citizens Academy, a no cost nine-week educational program designed to connect residents with their local government. Our mission is to foster transparency, build trust, and empower community members to become knowledgeable ambassadors of the City of Hanahan.
This unique experience offers a behind-the-scenes look at the operations of municipal departments. From public safety and recreation to finance and development, participants will engage directly with the individuals who serve Hanahan every day.
Through interactive tours, presentations, Q&A sessions, and hands-on demonstrations, participants will gain an in-depth understanding of how policies are implemented, services are delivered, and decisions are made. We hope this Academy strengthens your connection to the community and inspires active civic participation.
Welcome to the journey! Let's learn, engage, and grow together.
We are currently accepting online applications here, but a paper copy may be provided at City Hall upon request. Our schedule can be found here, as well.
The program is limited to 14 participants, and applications will close on July 31st.
To be eligible, applicants must:
