We're excited to start the spring session of My Henrico Academy! Please share this post with anyone who may be interested. The deadline for applications is Friday, Feb. 27.

Residents who reflect the area’s rich cultural diversity are encouraged to apply for My Henrico Academy, a leadership program that strengthens connections between Henrico County and its multicultural communities while encouraging civic participation and empowerment.

The free program offers participants an opportunity to meet with county officials, tour facilities and deepen their understanding of local programs, services and resources. It aims to highlight how Henrico’s government and residents work together to build a stronger, more vibrant community. Applications will be accepted through Friday, Feb. 27.
