About Our ProgramsInterested in learning more about the City of Chamblee?  Check out all the community programs the city has to offer!

	Chamblee 101 is an 11-week program offered once a year that aims to develop and nurture informed and engaged residents, business owners, and community partners in our great city. Participants receive a behind-the-scenes look at how the City of Chamblee provides high-quality services to the community. Those that take part in the program interact with Chamblee leadership, visit municipal facilities to get a first-hand glimpse of how the city operates, and build a network with others who live, work, and learn in the City of Chamblee.
	The Citizen’s Police Academy is a six-week class that is designed to provide participants an opportunity to learn about modern-day policing and gives a look into the everyday life of a Chamblee police officer. Attendees will get to participate in a ride-along and learn about the department’s organization, command structure, procedures, laws of arrest, patrol division, criminal investigation, crime scene unit, dispatch, municipal court, community oriented policing unit, park rangers, Co-Responder Program, and more.
	The Chamblee Nonprofit Partnership Program (NPP) is designed to strengthen, promote, and connect local nonprofits by enhancing organization visibility while assisting in their development and capacity-building efforts.  By facilitating various roundtable discussions, hosting lunch and learns, providing grant opportunities, and other benefits members of the NPP can expand their capacity to serve the community. Cities and nonprofits often have shared missions and goals, and the collaboration between the two represent a winning combination for affective positive social change in communities.
	Looking for ways to volunteer with the city? Whether it’s an upcoming event or meeting, we have lots of volunteer opportunities for residents and partners that want to lend a helping hand. If your time is limited, but you still want to help, we have digital volunteer opportunities such as sharing city updates on social media.  Or if you are looking to have a larger impact by providing input and recommendations for new events, programs, or communications for the city, contact us and we will add you to our ambassadors list. Regular meetings for ambassadors will begin in 2023.
	The Neighborhood Engagement Program (NEP) empowers neighbors to create healthy communities with a high quality of life by collaborating and actively partnering in improving their neighborhood. A high quality of life is a place where residents know each other’s name, rely on one another, and work productively with the city, schools, and businesses to create a desirable place to live. The NEP aims to create stronger neighborhood relationships and build community resilience by supporting neighbors in organization around a goal they identify then engaging in the collective action necessary to turn the community’s vision into reality. The program will begin in one community at a time. For more information, email blindsay@chambleega.gov.
