Public Allies is a national movement grounded in the conviction that everyone leads. We believe that everyone can make a difference and can work to inspire more citizens to believe in themselves, step up, and act.

Our mission is to advance new leadership to strengthen communities, nonprofits and civic participation. Our Ally Program, designed for people who have a passion to make a difference, is a 10-month apprenticeship with a local nonprofit organization, combined with group trainings and service projects.

We are in 21 communities nationwide, and our alumni network is more than 3,000 strong.
