The Mayor’s Neighborhood Engagement Office, in partnership with the Mayor’s Office of Youth and Families, would like to invite you to participate in Junior Civic Leadership Academy (JCLA). This initiative from Mayor LaToya Cantrell, this engaging 8-week program will provide youth with an in-depth look at City government. The program includes hands-on demonstrations and presentations that give participants an insider's view of how the City of New Orleans operates. With this knowledge, students will be better equipped to engage their communities and help improve residents’ quality of life.

The 2021 JCLA session will take place each Saturday in June & July from 9AM - 12PM, in-person, with the exclusion of July 3rd. Applications will be accepted until Friday, May 21st or until capacity is reached.
