Citizens Government Academy

The Village of Glenview is excited for the return of the Citizens Government Academy! Now in Year 5, the Village will be hosting a seven-week course on the major functions of local government to offer an inside look at how the Village leads and serves the community. This program is designed to provide an opportunity of an in-depth level of engagement between residents and the various departments and staff.


Applications to participate are available at the link on the right side of this page.


Applications for this upcoming academy will be accepted through mid-August. The Management Services department will contact selected participants to confirm their spot in the academy and inform them of the upcoming schedule. Preferences will be given to Glenview residents or business owners. Participants must be at least 18 years of age.


The program will run from 6:30-8:30 p.m. Thursday nights beginning September 4 and will conclude on October 16.


Check back soon for more information on the 2025 Citizens Government Academy.
