If you’re looking for something to do this Fall, may we suggest taking part in the Richardson Citizens Academy & Resource Education Series, also known as Richardson CARES.

Applications for the free community program are being accepted right now through Aug. 1.

Richardson CARES runs Sept. 1 – Oct. 20. The eight-week class will help people gain a better understanding and knowledge of the structure and function of the City of Richardson.

Participants meet every Thursday from 5:30 – 9 p.m. and will get to know City staff, while learning about the day -to-day operations of Richardson’s government. Each session focuses on different functions of the City and will be presented by various departments, at several locations.

Richardson CARES is interactive and includes tours, on-site demonstrations, and questions-and-answer sessions.
