Concord 101

Concord 101 is an educational experience for citizens of Concord. You'll enjoy learning more about your local government and the services it provides.  As part of this course, you will get to hear from Concord’s environmental educator and learn more about what it means to protect our natural resources.  We hope to help members of the community better understand how these services work for them.  Additionally, members will be encouraged to take an active role in their neighborhood and city. You will learn how you can play a part in local government. The relaxed setting will make learning about our city fun and exciting!
