Dunwoody 101 at High StreetDunwoody, GA – August 18, 2025 – After a sold-out debut in May, “Dunwoody 101: All Aboard” is rolling back into town on Tuesday, September 30. This immersive, one-day program takes residents on a guided, behind-the-scenes journey through Dunwoody’s city government, complete with a trolley ride to see projects in action. It’s open to Dunwoody residents 18 and older.

“We heard great feedback when we debuted the program in May, so we wanted to offer it again,” said Dunwoody City Manager Eric Linton. “We’ve developed a schedule that lets participants experience the energy of City Hall while also getting out to tour exciting projects and initiatives.”

Residents who participated in the inaugural class of Dunwoody 101 left with a deeper understanding of - and confidence in - local government. "I saw the City in a new light,” said Jeannie Posner. “I enjoyed seeing what the future goals are for Dunwoody - from parks to new commercial redevelopment to forward-thinking ways of keeping Dunwoody thriving in the future." John Hallen added, “I was very impressed with the professional staff and the length of service. It says a lot that turnover is low."

Applications are open now through Friday, September 5. Seats are limited to 25 participants due to trolley capacity. Residents who were on the waiting list for the first class will be given priority. If applications exceed available spots, participants will be chosen at random and notified by Monday, September 8.
