Greenville County Citizens Academy: Building Informed Community Leaders
- Details
- By Benton Blount - Chairman of Greenville County Council
I’m excited to share that applications are now open for the 2026 Citizens Academy, a program that has quickly become one of the most meaningful ways residents can gain a deeper understanding of how Greenville County Government works.
Launched two years ago in partnership with fellow council members and county staff, the Citizens Academy was created to pull back the curtain on county government, how decisions are made, how services are delivered, and how taxpayer dollars are managed. I’m proud to have been part of the effort to bring this program to life, and even more proud of the impact it’s already had.
