Services
The Community Engagement & Public Information Department ensures that factual, up-to-date information regarding Gloucester County Government is provided to its citizens. This is accomplished through leveraging a variety of media to reach as many residents and visitors as possible in the County. The Department fosters local and school partnerships, and works to engage citizens to access resources and opportunities to shape their community.
County Videos
Gloucester County’s YouTube channel offers a robust selection of videos depicting Gloucester County and Gloucester County Public School events, projects, and meetings. Our YouTube channel is broken down into playlists, making it easy to seek out what subject matter you desire to view. Most of our videos are produced in-house, offering an in-depth look into the programs and projects that your County Government and school system is offering.
Current Conversations Podcast
Gloucester's Community Engagement & Public Information Department has launched the County's first Podcast, "Current Conversations." The podcast will feature a different topic each month and will be published the first Wednesday of each month on the County's website and where you listen to your favorite podcast.
