2025 MCLA Graduation

Joining the Montgomery Citizens’ Leadership Academy (MCLA) is a powerful way to deepen your connection to the community and gain insider knowledge about how Montgomery operates. We have a few spots left for this important class. Here’s why it’s worth your time:

  • Behind-the-Scenes Access: An insider’s view of City Hall, Montgomery Safety Center, Public Works, Bethesda North Hospital, and Sycamore Community Schools.
  • Meet Local Leaders: Build relationships with City Council members, department heads, and staff.
  • Hands-On Experience: Participate in interactive simulations and team projects that tackle real community issues.
  • Civic Empowerment: Learn how decisions are made, how departments function, and how you can influence change

MCLA runs January through March, with weekly Thursday evening sessions (plus one Saturday morning tour).

  • Includes dinner or breakfast at each session.
  • Costs just $99 to cover food and materials.

There is a $99 fee to cover meals and materials. The class is limited to 25 people. Visit montgomeryohio.gov/mcla-application-form/ to apply!
