Community Calendar
The City of Yuma understands that some residents may be affected by the ongoing federal government shutdown.
If you are concerned about making your City utility payments—such as water, sewer, or trash—please contact us.
We are here to help and can arrange temporary payment options during this time. Accounts will remain active, and no delinquent fees will be applied while arrangements are in place.
Residents may contact the City’s Customer Service Division at (928) 373-5076 or visit YumaAZ.gov for assistance.
Yuma County Public Health Services District (YCPHSD) Vector Control staff continue to conduct mosquito surveillance, including trapping and treating areas when appropriate.
YCPHSD reminds residents that the public is the first line of defense against mosquito-borne illnesses.
Everyone is encouraged to regularly inspect their homes and yards for standing water where mosquitoes can breed, such as in flowerpots, gutters, debris and birdbaths. Community members can further help protect their neighborhoods by promptly reporting any potential mosquito breeding sites or related concerns to the Health Department.
For more information contact the Yuma County Public Health Services District Vector Control at 928-317-4584.

City of Yuma residents are invited to apply for the 2026 Neighborhood Leadership Academy (NLA), a once-a-week, in depth course about different City functions, departments, services and facilities.
The City is now accepting applications, which are available along with additional details and the 2026 class schedule at www.YumaAz.Gov/NLA.
In an interactive setting, NLA brings together City of Yuma staff members to inform participants about how City government works, including the distinct roles and responsibilities of City Council and City administration.
There is no fee to apply or attend. Applications remain open until the academy reaches its 25-person capacity. Prospective applicants are encouraged to apply early.
Academy participants will meet for three-hour sessions on Thursday evenings for 12 weeks beginning January 15, 2026. A graduation ceremony will take place on April 9, 2026.
NLA prepares participants to get involved in local government, from how to have their voices heard to understanding which agency or department should be addressed to handle a specific issue.
Graduates from NLA become prepared to work with City staff and Council on issues and topics, or to serve on boards and commissions. NLA also prepares individuals to serve in elected City offices. Current Councilmember Art Morales, for example, is an NLA graduate.
For additional information on the Neighborhood Leadership Academy or questions regarding the application, call City of Yuma Neighborhood Services at 928-373-5187.

Ballet Yuma is thrilled to announce the addition of a "Sensory Friendly" performance of The Nutcracker held at McBride Auditorium at Snider Hall.
This performance further expands accessibility by thoughtfully adapting the Nutcracker experience for neurodiverse audience members and their families. With lower music volume, some light left on the audience, buffer seats, and a shush-free environment, this show is designed for anyone with sensory concerns. Audience members are welcome to enter and exit the auditorium as needed, and absolute silence is not a requirement. For our performers, this is just like every other performance except the audience will be visible and audible.
Ballet Yuma is so excited to bring the holiday tradition of The Nutcracker to more people than ever.
