"The Best Community Experience You Will Ever Have!"
Montgomery Citizens’ Leadership Academy (MCLA) is the first step in getting involved. Participants will get to know other like-minded, civic-oriented community members and by the end of the class, graduates are on a first-name basis with local elected officials, school administrators, and other local leaders.
This opportunity gives a look “behind the scenes” to explore local institutions and to answer the question “what do they do there?”.
MCLA offers a powerful hands-on, total immersion experience into contemporary issues that are important to the citizens of Montgomery. Participants are given real-world experience when they identify an issue, get educated on how to address it, and then join a team of fellow participants to apply that knowledge.
The Academy runs from January through March and features a combination of evening and Saturday morning sessions. Workshops are generally held three times per month and last approximately three hours each including a meal.
What you get from this class:
- 10 unique workshops that offer residents an opportunity to learn about their community
- Lecturettes
- Special guest speakers
- Off-site tours
- Debates and discussions
- Interactive simulation exercises
A fee of $99 will offset the cost of food and materials. For further information or to take advantage of this unique opportunity, please contact Amy Frederick, at afrederick@montgomeryohio.org or 513-792-8358.
