The Clovis Citizens' Academy

Modeled after community leadership programs and citizen police academies found in many communities throughout the country, the Clovis Citizen's Academy is designed to provide citizens with a first-hand look at the work of Clovis city government - how it is planned, the infrastructure that is used, and the City Council's vision for the future.

The Citizens' Academy classes have been a great success. The annual Academy is normally held in the Spring.  Community leaders and city staff present information in an informal setting to encourage discussion and questions. The sessions will cover Clovis history, land use planning, public safety, public services, and the vision for the future. We are excited with the positive response we received from residents who are interested in learning more about the City of Clovis.

The Citizens’ Academy runs for four consecutive Wednesdays, with a city tour on Saturday, from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.

Community leaders and city staff present information in an informal setting to encourage discussion and questions.  The sessions cover Clovis history, land use planning, public safety, public services, and the vision for the future.
