The FBI’s Community Outreach Program supports the Bureau’s investigative mission by working to address multiple interrelated societal problems—including crime, drugs, gangs, terrorism, and violence. Linking community service, prevention, and law enforcement is a national trend spurred by grass roots efforts around the country, and FBI employees have joined this movement, volunteering in a wide variety of community-related efforts.

The Citizens Academy is an engaging six-to-eight-week program that gives business, religious, civic, and community leaders an inside look at the FBI. Classes meet in the evening at the FBI field office. The mission of the FBI Citizens Academy is to foster a greater understanding of the role of federal law enforcement in the community through frank discussion and education.
Candidates are nominated by FBI employees, former Citizens Academy graduates, and community leaders. Participants are selected by the special agent in charge of the local FBI field office.
To Apply
Applications for the 2024 Citizens Academy are now closed. Check back for future opportunities.
The FBI Jacksonville Collegiate Academy gives college students a look into the mission of the FBI.
Students learn about the many FBI career paths offered, experience hands-on demonstrations from the Evidence Response Team, and speak one-on-one with special agents, SWAT team members, and professional staff employees.
This initiative is part of the FBI's Beacon Project, which works to foster stronger partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Serving Institutions to help increase diversity in law enforcement.
The next FBI Jacksonville Collegiate Academy has not yet been scheduled. In the meantime, visit www.fbijobs.gov for information about FBI career paths.
