Citizen's Academy

Applications are closed. Thank you for your interest.


 The Glynn County Citizen's Academy is a free 9-week civics class that encourages participants to "Get to know Glynn County." Each week includes an inside look at county government departments, what each does, and how they serve Glynn County citizens. Classes will include, speakers, exercises and tours in order to give participants the best understanding of day to day operations. Participants will be encouraged to ask questions or offer ideas throughout the classes.

Classes are to begin on February 8, 2021 at 6:00 p.m. in the second floor meeting room of the W. Harold Pate building room 224 and continue for 9 weeks. Classes will be no more than 2 hours long and most classes will take place in the evening hours after 6:00 p.m., so that many citizens may attend. 

Applications for 2021 will open on December 14, 2020. The first ten participants to apply will be added to the class.

In an effort to make up for the classes missed by the 2020 class due to COVID-19, the final five classes may have has many 30 participants.
