The Town of Siler City will be offering a multi-week Local Government course for free starting at the end of the month.‌

The course will be an opportunity for participants to learn about Town services and opportunities, connect with Town leadership and community members and have a chance to lead by engaging in dialogue about community issues.

The purpose of the course is to improve participant’s understanding of the Town and its services and programs, learn about community issues, foster communication and encourage participants to become volunteers and effective community leaders.
