Murrieta’s 'Citizens Academy' Returns

The following is a Sept. 2, 2025, news release from the city of Murrieta:

MURRIETA, CA — The City of Murrieta’s City Hall Citizens Academy is back! This free program will provide an inside look at the inner workings of City Hall to the community. Throughout the Academy, participants will hear from all the City departments including the City Manager’s Office, Public Safety, Economic Development, and Community Services Departments, learning what they do and how that work impacts the community. It’s also a chance to meet city leaders, ask questions, and become a more informed resident.

Graduates will receive a certificate. Those who complete all three Academies (City Hall, Fire, and Police) will become City Ambassadors and will be recognized by the City Council.

"Being a City of Murrieta Ambassador and attending the City Hall Citizens Academy, along with the
Police and Fire Academies, has been an eye-opening experience,” noted city ambassador Jennifer
Chamberlain. “It gave me a deeper understanding of how our city operates and how each of us can
play a role in shaping its future. I encourage every resident to take part—it's a powerful way to connect, learn, and make a real impact in our community."

This academy is designed for Murrieta residents, business owners, and employees of businesses within the City. Special accommodations may be made for participants under the age of 18. The program runs from September 18 to October 30, 2025, on Thursday evenings from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM at City Hall.

Space is limited to 25 participants. Early registration is encouraged. To sign up and for more information please visit https://www.murrietaca.gov/Cit... or call 951-461-6449.
