The Richardson Citizens Academy & Resource Education Series (CARES) has begun accepting applications for its 2022 program, to be held Sept. 1-Oct. 20. The free, eight-week class is offered to adults ages 18 and up to help them gain a better understanding and knowledge of the structure and function of the City of Richardson. 

CARES participants will meet every Thursday from 5:30-9 p.m. and get to know City staff, learn about the day-to-day operations of Richardson’s government and discover ways to contribute and be an active participant. Each session will focus on a different function of the City and be presented by various departments, at various locations. The program will be interactive and include tours, on-site demonstrations and question-and-answer sessions.
