The Citizens Academy is a unique opportunity for citizens to learn about Volusia County Government. The Academy meets once a week, from 8 a.m.- 5 p.m., for 12 weeks.
The next Citizens Academy will start in August, 2008.The 2007 curriculum (pdf format) and the Citizens Academy Yearbook will give you an idea of what the weekly sessions are like.
This fun, hands-on awareness program is held once a year and designed to educate and inform citizens about how Volusia County Government works and operates.
The curriculum offers a wide range of seminars and workshops featuring the "inner workings" of Volusia County Government. Topics include elections, growth management, community services, public protection, property assessments, budgets and more. Citizens will ride with Volusia County Beach Patrol, trek though the scrub habitat at the Lyonia Preserve and shadow a county official for a hands-on look at county organization.
The program is limited to 20 participants. Applicants are selected through an interview process.For more information please contact Cindy Finney in the Volusia County Manager’s office at (386) 736-5920.
