Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke announced Nov. 2 a new initiative to promote civic engagement.

The city created CIVIC to better engage residents and future leaders, according to the mayor’s video announcement on social media.

The 10-session program is interactive and offers residents a “behind-the-scenes” look at city services, Hartke said.

This free program will launch in January, and in each session, participants will meet with city leaders, tour facilities that keep the city running, participate in interactive sessions, and learn how to stay engaged with the city and in the community, Hartke said.

Sessions will generally take place every other Wednesday from 4:30-6:30 p.m. at various locations throughout Chandler. More information is available at www.chandleraz.gov.
