COMMUNITY ACADEMY

Communities thrive when people participate. We’re excited to announce something brand new from the Eagan Community Foundation: applications are now open for the inaugural Eagan Community Academy!

The Community Academy is a behind-the-scenes experience for people who want to better understand Eagan, build meaningful relationships, and discover ways to make a difference.

Over 10 weeks, participants will experience the people, places, and partnerships that shape Eagan — exploring how local government, schools, nonprofits, businesses, and community organizations work together to make our community thrive.

But this isn’t about becoming an expert in how Eagan works. It’s about becoming a more informed, connected neighbor — and discovering your own way to contribute.

• Discover. Experience Eagan from a new perspective.

• Connect. Build relationships that strengthen our community.

• Contribute. Find your unique way to make a lasting impact.

We’re looking for a diverse inaugural class of residents representing different ages, neighborhoods, backgrounds, professions, experiences, and perspectives.

Could one of them be you?

Applications are closed for 2026. Check back next year for our second class.
