I would encourage anyone interested in learning more about the City of Raleigh and how you can use that knowledge to improve your neighborhood to apply. I did this in Spring 2005 and gained a wealth knowledge. I’m happy to write a letter of recommendation for anyone that I know in the neighborhood.
From the City of Raleigh E-Newsletter:
APPLICATIONS BEING ACCEPTED FOR SPRING SESSION OF RALEIGH NEIGHBORHOOD COLLEGE
Interested in learning more about the City of Raleigh and its services? Attend the City’s Raleigh Neighborhood College (RNC). This program allows participants to meet and interact with staff from the City of Raleigh and Wake County and with fellow citizens.
RNC is designed for those residents who want to:
- learn more about their city;
- participate in City-based programming; and,
- improve their quality of life.
Citizens who have participated in RNC have increased their knowledge about their city and have used the information to improve their neighborhoods.
RNC is a 13-week course hosted on the campus of Peace College, located at 15 E. Peace St. The City of Raleigh Community Services Department is now accepting applications for the spring session, which begins on March 12. Space is limited to 25 participants. Each Thursday evening class will begin with dinner being served at 5:30 p.m. Instruction will start at 6 p.m. and continue until 9 p.m. Dinner is provided at no charge.
For more information about the Raleigh Neighborhood College, call the City of Raleigh Community Services Department at (919) 996–6100 or email Kevin Smith, program coordinator, at kevin.smith@ci.raleigh.nc.us. Applications can be downloaded by visiting the City’s website at www.raleighnc.gov/communityservices.

About: Jason: I'm a neighborhood advocate. I started off by getting involved in the Pleasant Ridge & Ramsgate Community Watch program and helped grow that organization. I saw an opportunity to unite other neighborhoods in our area with the Lineberry Alliance. I became chair of Raleigh's South West Citizen Advisory Council (SWCAC) in April 2010 along with vice chair Anthony McLeod and second vice chair Mary Belle Pate. I work with other neighborhood leaders in District D alongside City Councilor Thomas Crowder, on the District D Neighborhood Alliance (DDNA). I've completed Raleigh Neighborhood College (Spring 2005) and Leadership North Carolina (May 2007). In 2009, I lead a group of neighborhood volunteers to review Raleigh's 2030 Comprehensive Plan. I have a genuine interest in strong communities, fostering diversity, understanding the issues, and being transparent in my work. You can follow me on Twitter: @jhibbets |
