Mission
Public Allies advances new leadership to strengthen communities, nonprofits and civic participation.
Background
In 1992, a diverse group of young social entrepreneurs were helped by a number of established community and national leaders to create Public Allies, believing that there were many energetic, talented young people who wanted to address critical issues in their communities and many organizations and communities who could benefit from their contributions.
Public Allies identifies talented young adults from diverse backgrounds and advances their leadership through a 10-month program of full-time, paid apprenticeships in nonprofit organizations, leadership trainings, and team service projects.
Recognized by the Bush and Clinton administrations as a model for national service, Public Allies operates in 19 communities and has more than 2,400 Alumni nationwide. Evaluations have demonstrated our effectiveness at advancing diverse young leaders, strengthening communities, nonprofits, and civic participation.
