Civitas Academy prepares young adults to become principled, courageous leaders who understand that public service is ultimately about serving people and strengthening the communities around them. Grounded in a biblical worldview, we believe our country needs leaders who understand the foundations of good government, recognize the importance of faith, family, and civic responsibility, and are prepared to lead with integrity when they enter the public square.

We turn that vision into practical experience. Civitas Academy provides young adults with premier Christian worldview and civic leadership training, hands-on experience through internships in Pennsylvania government, and unique networking opportunities with political and community leaders. Students don't simply learn how government works—they see it firsthand, build relationships with those already serving, and develop the knowledge, confidence, and character necessary to step into leadership themselves.

Civitas Academy is building a generation of principled leaders prepared to serve Pennsylvania in government, public policy, their communities, and beyond. By investing in promising young adults today—and continuing to mentor, connect, and support them as they move forward—we hope to cultivate leaders who will strengthen their communities, shape culture, and pursue excellence with conviction, wisdom, and integrity.
