Benefits Register Congratulations to our Spring 2024 Graduates!

Participants learn about local government services in Raleigh and Wake County through this free series of classes sponsored by the Neighborhood Enrichment Services Division.

Raleigh Neighborhood College just reaffirmed that everybody's opinion matters. We should take an active role in how the City is shaped and making it a city that is comfortable as well as prosperous now and in the future. We each have a hand in that.

Charles Haywood, Employee of the N.C. Justice Department

Benefits

Raleigh Neighborhood College (RNC) offers participants the tools to become actively involved in neighborhood and community organizations. Many graduates serve as a resource for their neighbors or go on to become leaders in local neighborhood organizations.

Students meet Raleigh and Wake County staffers who provide an inside look at the services and programs offered by the City of Raleigh and Wake County.

It connected me personally more to the City. I feel that I not only know more about the workings of the City but I feel more a part of it because of the experience.

Clodah Bastian, Executive Director of International Focus
