Better government. Stronger Democracy.

The Partnership for Public Service is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization whose mission is to build a better government and a stronger democracy.

Our Why

Just 7.9% of the federal workforce is under the age of 30. By contrast, employees under 30 made up 19.4% of the U.S. labor force in 2025.  

By inspiring the next generation to serve in government – that’s you! – and working with government leaders to bring in top talent – you again! – into the workforce, we are transforming the way government works.

Our Goal

We inspire the next generation of government leaders in many ways.

How we do it: 

  • Call to Serve Network

    Colleges and universities play a critical role in inspiring and preparing the next generation of government leaders. Our Call to Serve Network, which is the only national system that collaborates with both government agencies and hundreds of institutions of higher education, works to promote government service and recruit the next generation of public servants. With over 1,800 members across the country, the Partnership supports colleges and universities by connecting students and alumni with tools, resources and opportunities in government.
