Community Academy is a fun, interactive, and award-winning opportunity to learn about your Town and local government. Join staff and your neighbors to learn more about Oro Valley and help shape the next 10 years! The class topics listed below will cover key focus areas of the community's next 10-year action plan, known as OV's Path Forward.

The 2024 Community Academy program will be held throughout October and the beginning of November. All classes are held in the Council Chambers at Town Hall (click HERE for map) from 6-8PM. Participants are encouraged to attend in person but may join the classes online. Please note, online attendees will have a limited participation experience. Staff highly recommends attending in-person.

Community Academy started on Thursday, October 3. If you would like to register or have any questions, please contact Alexandra Chavez at achavez@orovalleyaz.gov or 520-229-4814.
