Citizen's Academy Offers Course On Brevard County Government Operations

BREVARD COUNTY, FL. -- Come learn about your county in the coolest civics class you will ever take!

UF/Brevard Extension Service is sponsoring a free Citizen's Academy for residents to learn how Brevard County Government develops a budget, paves road, trains employees, maintains parks, cares for our natural resources, and so much more. Participants will have the chance to ask staff and department directors about their departments, what they do, how they get it done, and what the future holds.

Classes meet at various locations throughout the county for nine Thursdays beginning Feb. 4 and ending on April 8, 2021. Classes start at 9 a.m. and end no later than 3 p.m. Lunch will be provided on the last day/graduation day of the class.
