Washington Field Office Community Outreach

The WFO’s Community Outreach Programs enable community leaders, business executives, and young people to learn about the FBI’s mission and foster a greater understanding of the role of federal law enforcement through frank discussion, education, and hands–on–training. By creating partnerships, we are able to build a network of supporters and help prevent crime, violence, drug use, and gangs through programs, speeches, and events. We accomplish this outreach through the following programs:

The Citizens’ Academy is an eight-week course for business, religious, civic, and community leaders that provides an inside look at the FBI’s mission, goals, and objectives.

The Adopt-a-School youth programs serve students in Washington, D.C. and Northern Virginia, reinforcing basic academic principles. For more information:
