UF/IFAS Brevard County Extension Office to Host Citizens Academy Class Starting Feb. 8

classes set every Thursday for seven weeks

Civic engagement is the foundation of a democratic society. There are two related, but sometimes competing, components in making decisions. One is individual liberty, and the other is the public good. How do you balance those two?

BREVARD COUNTY • COCOA, FLORIDA – Civic engagement is the foundation of a democratic society. There are two related, but sometimes competing, components in making decisions. One is individual liberty, and the other is the public good. How do you balance those two?

Citizens Academy occurs every Thursday for seven weeks, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., starting Thursday, February 8, and ending Thursday, March 21. Lunch is not provided.

The way to effectively do that is for people to take an active role in shaping their communities. One way that Brevard County residents can assist in shaping their community is by registering for one of the most extraordinary civics classes you will ever take! Citizens Academy!

Citizens Academy is a free course that aims to give residents a better understanding of how the county develops its budget, paves roads, trains employees, and so much more. It will also promote open communication lines between county departments and residents. We can only create more robust, equitable, sustainable, and healthy communities by working together.
