Neighborhood Outreach
Neighborhood Directory
The City of Auburn's neighborhoods are diverse in tradition, history and culture. We want to work with each to help residents optimize City services and communicate on matters important to them. We strive to keep an updated neighborhood directory and are asking for established homeowners associations and unofficial neighborhood groups to connect with us by emailing Director of City Relations Allison Blankenship at [email protected] with your representative's name, contact information and neighborhood. Through this, we will start conversations on how to best establish an effective partnership with each part of Auburn's community.
Neighborhood Conference
The Neighborhood Conference is an annual event taking place on a Saturday in August. This event is geared toward neighborhood groups and all residents interested in the quality of life in Auburn’s neighborhoods. It includes break-out sessions and a keynote speech along with opportunities to meet fellow neighbors who work to make Auburn safer, friendlier and lovelier every day.
Look for more information about the 2024 Neighborhood Conference soon.
Citizens' Academy
The purpose of the City of Auburn Citizens’ Academy is to inspire an engaged citizenry by strengthening the relationship between residents and their local government and providing a deeper understanding of City operations through departmental visits, hands-on activities and candid conversations.
Participants graduate with the knowledge of day-to-day operations, the tools to get more involved and a stronger connection with fellow community members and City staff in all 19 departments.
The Citizens' Academy program began in 2022. The latest class, the 2023 Class, graduated on Oct. 4, 2023.
More information about the Academy can be found at auburnalabama.org/academies.
Neighborhood Cleanup Project
On an annual basis, the City of Auburn selects a focus area within its boundaries on which to make repairs and perform general maintenance work. The Neighborhood Cleanup Project began in 2011 as a way for City staff to work with residents to beautify and nourish Auburn’s neighborhoods.
