Durham County Neighborhood College
Durham City-County Neighborhood College is a unique educational program offered by Durham City and County governments. It includes a series of classes that will provide information on key City and County services. Participants will have a chance to meet and interact with City and County staff and learn things about government that they've always wanted to know but didn't know whom to ask!
The program is to provide educational opportunities for Durham citizens to learn about their local governments. Participants are encouraged to share the knowledge they receive from the program with their neighbors.
Durham Neighborhood College offers one session each year. For more information, email publicinformationoffice@dconc.gov.
