Martin Cares program reaches 67th graduating class, county says
Summary
Podcast hosts celebrated the 67th graduating class of the county’s Martin Cares civic-education program and said thousands of residents have participated since the program began.
Martin County’s podcast hosts said the county recently graduated the 67th class of Martin Cares, the county’s civic-education program, and described graduates as ambassadors who have learned “what Martin County government does.”
The hosts said the program gives residents a “behind the scenes look at what Martin County government does” and that thousands of residents have participated over the years. They said classes pause for the summer and will resume in the fall with two sessions and an open house.
Why it matters: The hosts framed Martin Cares as a civic-engagement program that produces resident ambassadors informed about county operations and services. The program’s graduates may aid outreach and community understanding of county functions.
Details: The podcast said the program runs for six weeks, includes outside activities, and that registration information will be posted when classes resume in the fall. The hosts said they sometimes have to turn participants away when sessions fill.
Residents interested in participating should watch the county website and podcast show notes for registration dates and program details when the county posts fall session information.
