The Village of Howard is hosting a Citizens Academy to provide residents with an inside look at how each department of the village functions. The program is an excellent opportunity for community members to learn more about their local government.

The Howard Citizens Academy was created in 2019 to help community members learn about and experience Village of Howard government and departmental operations firsthand. This program provides an excellent opportunity for officials to interact with community members more closely, sharing village history, current practices, and vision for future growth.
The program’s goals include delivering practical experiences for participants in a safe learning and sharing environment, building positive relationships, and further improving communication between local government officials and community members.

The 2025 Citizens Academy is designed for Howard residents and business owners who are interested in learning about the community and its local government. Participants will also learn about potential involvement opportunities, including leadership roles and volunteerism.

The academy includes four learning sessions that will take place for two hours from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. on Thursday evenings starting October 16. Sessions will consist of speakers, facility tours, and opportunities for experiential learning.

The academy concludes with a recognition of completion during the regularly scheduled Village Board meeting at 6:30 p.m. on Monday, November 10.

A maximum of 20 participants, including one student in grades 9-12, will be chosen through an application and selection process.

The 2025 Citizens Academy information packet with application is available by following this link or at Howard Village Hall, located at 2456 Glendale Avenue.

Completed applications may be returned to Howard Village Hall or emailed to lwagnerkroening@villageofhoward.com. Applications must be received by 5:00 p.m. on October 6, 2025.

Selected academy participants will be contacted by October 10 to confirm their participation.
