Warren County is proud to announce the return of the Warren County People’s Academy, launching its second annual cohort this spring. The 10-week program is designed to give residents a deeper understanding of how County Government operates, makes decisions, and collaborates with community partners.

The People’s Academy aims to increase transparency in local government, strengthen relationships between residents and County departments, and prepare participants to serve in civic leadership roles such as boards, committees, and advisory groups. The program also highlights the ways County Government works alongside Warren County Schools and other community organizations to serve residents.

The 10-week session will meet every Thursday evening from April 2 through May 21, with a formal graduation ceremony scheduled during the June Board of Commissioners meeting. Throughout the program, participants will explore the work of more than 15 County departments, take part in hands-on activities, and build meaningful connections with fellow cohort members. Meals will be provided at each session.

Applications will be available beginning February 18 on the County’s website and social media platforms, as well as in person at 602 W. Ridgeway Street. Space is limited, and early applications are encouraged.

Residents who are interested in assisting with the program or who have questions about the Academy can contact Matt Garner at matthewgarner@warrencountync.gov.

County leaders look forward to welcoming a new class of engaged citizens ready to learn more about the inner workings of local government and take an active role in shaping Warren County’s future.
