Next Generation Service Corps Public Service Academy

 

What we do

 

The challenges of our time—education, national security, access to healthcare, and more-- cannot be solved alone; we need the public, private, nonprofit and military sectors to work together towards a shared goal. The Public Service Academy answers our nation’s call for a new type of leader, a character-driven leader armed with the courage to cross sectors, connect networks and ignite action for the greater good.
