We are so excited for The Academy of Civic Engagement (ACE) season five and to be back in person engaging our residents! We will kick off ACE on April 7, 2022, at 5:30 pm at the Boutwell Auditorium.

ACE is a City of Birmingham initiative with the central goal of getting residents directly involved and engaged with their local municipal government. ACE is a citywide leadership initiative aimed at bringing everyday residents together for a deeper understanding of how the city is working for them and how they can plug into a variety of opportunities. ACE wants to prepare residents to go out into their communities to act, serve, and lead.

 The Division of Social Justice and Racial Equity is now taking applications from residents who are interested in participating in the 7-week ACE initiative. Participants must be a resident of the City of Birmingham to enroll in ACE.

Applications close April 6, 2022.
