Thirteen weeks of town-government learning
Barnstable’s next Citizens Leadership Academy begins January 12, 2027. The town’s November 6 council report invites applications for the program, which runs on Tuesday evenings from 6–8:30 p.m. over 13 weeks.
Applications are available through the Town Manager’s Office at 367 Main Street in Hyannis or the academy page linked from the report.
Who can join
The program is free for people who live or work in Barnstable. Town staff lead discussions, interactive sessions and site tours at different locations. Class size is limited, and the town advises applying early to avoid a waiting list.
Use the current academy page for the application information and confirm arrangements with the Town Manager’s Office. Applying does not guarantee a place; the announcement gives no fixed application deadline.
