Rochester Community University

 2311 NSC RCU header

The goal of Rochester Community University (RCU) is to help residents learn how to advocate for themselves and their neighborhoods. Participants attend a series of workshops that give them insight into City Hall and local resources that they can then use to address issues affecting them.   

This program is community-driven and developed in cooperation with City staff and residents. The workshops are a part of the implementation of the Rochester 2034 Comprehensive Plan, which has a goal to build the capacity of community organizations and associations. Each session is from 6 - 7 p.m. In person sessions will feature a light dinner.

Space is limited. Reserve your spot today!  Applications are due by TBD
