Spring 2026 Civic Leadership Academy Applications Now Open!

CLA Recap

The Mayor’s Community Engagement Office is excited to announce that we’re preparing to launch our next cohort of the Civic Leadership Academy, an engaging 8 week education program that provides residents with an in-depth look at City government.  The program includes tours, hands-on demonstrations and presentations that give participants an insider view of how the City of New Orleans operates.  With this knowledge, participants are better equipped to lead collective action towards the advancement of neighborhoods and residents’ quality of life.

 

The Mayor’s Community Engagement Office (CEO) extends this invitation for eligible residents to apply to the Civic Leadership Academy Spring 2026 class. 

 

Who can participate in Civic Leadership Academy?
