YTC · OPEN TO EVERYONE
Yuma Transparency Club
You don’t need a title to change your community.
Founded by Carlos Adams, the Yuma Transparency Club brings residents together to learn how local government works, ask informed questions, and take an active role in Yuma’s future. We are nonpartisan, open to everyone, and free to participate in.
LEARN. CONNECT. PARTICIPATE.
Understand your city.
Help shape its future.
YTC is a place to build the knowledge and relationships that make civic participation possible.
- Learn how to request and review public records.
- Explore the Yuma City Charter and how local decisions are made.
- Discuss transparency, accountability, and resident-led initiatives.
- Connect with neighbors interested in community service and leadership.
OUR SHARED FOCUS
Transparency.
Accountability.
A stronger Yuma.
Our work includes discussing a proposed independent ethics commission and a possible City Charter amendment. Residents can help research the proposal, discuss safeguards, and explore the steps toward a City Charter amendment.
