Sugar Land is again offering residents a great opportunity to learn, serve and lead the City. The 10 week 2012 spring program begins January 19, 2012 and provides an in-depth look at how our City runs.

It better equips and encourages residents to assume leadership roles within the community. The curriculum includes presentations by City department heads and field trips to several sites such as the municipal airport, fire and police departments, water treatment plant, traffic operations. Members of the class also hold a Mock City Council meeting.
