There Are Four Ways to Get Involved

Local Government Academy is a unique resource for communities. As a non-partisan non-profit, we provide free or low-cost training to elected and appointed officials and municipal staff. Advocates make this possible.

Your donation supports local communities by assuring government officials, employees, volunteers, and average citizens continue to have access to programs that promote excellence in local government from a trusted, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization. Future generations will ultimately be the beneficiaries of our shared efforts to improve governance, develop leaders and build partnerships.
