Mayor Ravenstahl’s Youth Civic Leadership Academy is a free summer program in the City of Pittsburgh that provides an interactive opportunity for high school students to learn about their local government. It includes tours, demonstrations, and hands-on activities that give an up-close and personal view of the Mayor’s Office, Fire Bureau, Police Bureau, Emergency Medical Services, Urban Redevelopment Authority, Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority, and lots more.
