Civics 101 is the class designed by the League of Women Voters in Charlotte-Mecklenburg. It begins Feb. 6.
The class is a one-month primer on local government with visits to the Charlotte City Council, Mecklenburg Board of County Commissioners, school board and a tour of courts.
Over more than two decades, hundreds of people have taken the class. Many have gone on to public office.
