“The past two years have been very successful and we are excited to increase this growing group of alumni,” Alisa Rabin Bell, Woodbury Community Foundation executive director, said in a release. “Woodbury citizens will gain an understanding of how local public, private, and nonprofit sectors work in their respective areas, as well as in unison, to make the city a positive place to reside.”

The 10 sessions will begin Feb. 6 and end on April 16 with a graduation ceremony. Participants will meet every Monday from 6:30-9 p.m. at various locations in the city.

This is a free program, but attendance is on a first-come, first-served basis, with a maximum of 25 people.

“Come join us as we learn more about the various aspects of our community, including business, education, health and wellness, public safety, and more,” said Rabin Bell. “The Woodbury Community Foundation is proud to be offering this successful program in partnership with the city and the Lions for Woodbury citizens.”
