Civic Leadership Academy

Applications are now closed for the Spring 2025 Civic Leadership Academy.

The Mayor’s Neighborhood 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.

Goals

• Build capacity of leaders to become effective neighborhood advocates
• Construct a source of leadership from communities
• Encourage collaboration and partnership between a wide range of community organizations
