BROWARD COUNTY, FL -  If you are a South Florida college student and want to go behind the scenes to experience how government really works, then now is the time to apply to Broward Academy VII. The theme of this free and exciting 10-week program (September 13-November 15, Thursday evenings) is Passport to Broward. Participants will be taken to County destinations where the public typically does not have access (see flyer).

By experiencing several County businesses and agencies, students will appreciate how Broward County government makes a difference in the quality of life in our community. The curriculum incorporates a civics component so students understand their role and responsibilities as citizens. Dinner is included in the program.
