SIGN UP FOR THE MONROVIA 
AREA PARTNERSHIP YOUTH OR 
ADULT LEADERSHIP 

ACADEMIES THIS FALL!

The Monrovia Area Partnership (MAP) is excited 
to present our youth and adult leadership academies 
for the fall season! MAP is a city program facilitated 
by Neighborhood Services staff that hosts 
events and meetings to train and connect community 
members dedicated to improving Monrovia. 
Stay connected by liking MAP on Facebook, and 
we hope you’ll consider signing up for one of our 
academies below!

MAP Adult Leadership Academy

One major goal of the MAP Program is to encourage 
residents' involvement in their neighborhood 
and in the community. Through the MAP Leadership 
Academy, we train residents to recognize 
and utilize city resources; provide leadership skills; 
and encouragement to become engaged in the 
community.

Thursdays, September 12 - October 24

MAP Youth Leadership Academy

The Monrovia Area Partnership (MAP) Youth 
Leadership Academy is similar to the Adult Academy 
but is designed for middle and high school aged 
youth. The Academy’s goals are to assist the youth 
in learning, developing and growing. We start by 
exploring with them how they themselves are leaders 
(even if they don’t know it yet!); then they are 
given examples of how others use their skills to 
make a difference. After learning from others, they 
learn how we work together as a community and 
ends with putting all that they learn into ACTION.

Wednesdays, September 11 - October 23 

3:00 - 5:00 PM, Library Community Room

FIVE REASONS TO ATTEND OR WATCH A CITY COUNCIL MEETING

• Learn about new developments and projects in Duarte. There are new projects and developments 
every direction you look. Duarte is bustling!

• Hear presentations about organizations in the community. Local organizations such as the Duarte 
Chamber of Commerce, the Historical Society, or our different utilities make presentations about programs 
they offer to enhance Duarte or issues they see that could impact citizens. City Council meetings 
are a hub of information from across the community.

• Share your opinion. If you attend the meeting in person, you can address the Council during “oral 
communications” section on the agenda. Even if you cannot attend, you can express your concerns by 
calling City Hall at (626) 357-7931 and staff will connect you to the correct person to assist.

• Know what’s going on in the community. Online forums sometimes have items misrepresented 
or falsely stated but if you are present at the meeting or watch later, you can know first-hand how a 
topic was discussed. It feels good to be in-the-know and not have to necessarily rely on outside filters for 
information.

• Get involved. Decide how involved you want to become by listening to what the different projects 
the city advisory commissions are working on and find the perfect niche for yourself – Parks and Recreation 
Commission, Public Safety Commission, Traffic Safety Commission and many others.

The Duarte City Council meets regularly on the second and fourth Tuesdays of the month at 7 p.m. in the 
Community Center, 1600 Huntington Drive.

Can’t attend but still really want to know what’s going on? Livestream the meeting or watch archived session 
on the City website at www.accessduarte.com. Just click on the “agenda/view meetings” icon at the 
bottom of the homepage, then click on the word “video” by the date of the meeting you want to view.
