Pittsburgh’s Civic Leadership Academy

The Civic Leadership Academy (CLA) is an engaging 11-week program that opens the doors of local government to the community. CLA was created to foster informed, effective, and inspired community leadership. The program includes tours, hands-on demonstrations, and other fun activities that give participants an insider view of how the City of Pittsburgh operates.

The program is free and residents across the city can apply. In addition, individuals actively involved in community organizations are encouraged to apply. In each session, participants learn about departments across city government and the services that each provides to build a safer, more livable city for all of Pittsburgh.
