City of Johnson City

JC 101

This program has been designed for the benefit of all citizens of the City of Johnson City to enhance and develop awareness and understanding of the government’s role in our community.

The objective of this program is to provide residents with the information and background necessary to address issues and work together for the enhancement of our community.

The program consists of 24 hours of government information to include presentations, tours, and a question-and-answer period during each class.

JC 101 is offered in the spring and fall each year.
