Clermont residents who are interested in how the city operates are encouraged to apply for the Fall 2023 session of the Clermont Citizens Academy (CCA).
The CCA is a free, 7-week, civics educational program that provides the opportunity to explore various departments for a better understanding of how the City operates to efficiently provide the many necessary services. Each week, students will meet with directors and staff from featured departments who will explain what their department does, how work gets done and how challenges are handled. Students are encouraged to ask questions and many departments will provide tours and demonstrations.
Clermont residents have historically been very excited to learn more about how their City runs and this type of program is often the first step for residents who are interested in becoming part of local government. To ensure a positive experience for everyone, the program is limited to the first 25 applicants who are at least 18 years old with confirmed Clermont residency and who can commit to attending at least six of the seven classes.
Additional applicants will be placed on a waiting list. The program will be held on Thursdays from 5:30 pm to 8 pm. beginning September 14 and will culminate with a graduation celebration on October 26. For more details on the program and the application process, visit www.clermontfl.gov or email info@ClermontFl.org. Applications will be accepted through September 1.
