🧠 Thinking about applying to Civic Responsibility for Young Leaders (CRFYL)?

There’s still time.

CRFYL is a one-week, immersive civic leadership program offered by the City of Atlanta’s Department of City Planning through NPU University. Designed for rising high school juniors and seniors in Atlanta Public Schools, the program helps students understand how the City works — and how they can help shape its future.

Participants shadow City leaders, explore the legislative process, develop real solutions to community challenges, and take part in a mock council meeting — all while earning 35 community service hours and a stipend.
