Brevard County Citizens Academy

The coolest civics class you will ever take!

The Brevard County Citizens Academy looks behind the scenes of county government. 

Come learn about your county in the most extraordinary civics class you will ever take! This 7-week course will teach you how the county develops a budget, paves roads, trains employees, maintains parks, cares for our natural resources, and so much more. This course also provides you with the skills and tools needed to become leaders in creating stronger, sustainable, and livable communities.

You will have the chance to ask county department directors and/or their staff about what they do, how they get it done, and what the future holds.
