Mayor Ravenstahl's Civic Leadership Academy is a free course about local government created by Mayor Ravenstahl to foster more informed, effective and inspired community and civic leadership. It includes tours, hands-on demonstrations, and fun activities that give an up-close and personal view of how the City is governed and run. In each session, participants learn about a different City department and the services that it provides to make for a safer, more livable City. Two sessions are held per year in the Spring and Fall. The Youth Civic Leadership Academy for high-school students is offered during the Summer.
