The City of Albemarle assists residents with an array of services and programs to advance the wellbeing, safety, and betterment of the entire community.

Self-Sufficiency

We are committed to helping residents in need to become economically self-sufficient through the power of education and motivation. We actively partner with local leaders, agencies, and schools to provide educational and training classes to help residents compete in the job market.

Adult Social and Inspirational Programs

The Resident’s Services office provides social and inspirational programs led by community professionals, groups, faith-based organizations and individuals to encourage positive community foundations and fellowship.

Adult Health and Wellness

Adults of all ages are encouraged to live healthy lifestyles through education and health screening opportunities. Produce from our local community garden is used by our NC A&T State University Extension Agent in a healthy eating class to boost awareness and motivation.

Children and Youth Oriented Programs

These programs provide young persons with year-round relationship-building opportunities. Civic organizations, faith-based groups, and educational leaders serve the children and youth with regular 4-H, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Jr. Youth Group, and inspirational programs.
