What is Civics 101?
Since 1995, Civics 101 has been a source of comprehensive and concise insight into the structures and processes of local and state government across Mecklenburg County. The League of Women Voters of Charlotte Mecklenburg, in collaboration with local government and elected officials, designed this series to share insights on how local government works and how residents can effectively engage as a resident of our community. By the end of the program, you will:
• understand how local government works
• be able to identify which government departments to contact when you need help
• know where to direct your energy to inspire change
Civics 101 is a seven-week program which consists of a weekly Wednesday evening session covering aspects of local government. Details for our 2027 Civics 101 Registration will be available late December 2026 / early January 2027.
