The Call to Serve Network is the only national system that collaborates with both federal agencies and higher education institutions to promote federal service and recruit the next generation of public servants. Every fall, our team visits campuses across the country. We provide workshops and training on navigating federal career opportunities, recruit for paid opportunities in government and connect with your students and advisors!

In 2023, we reached 27 schools in 16 states, and 37% of those we visited were minority-serving institutions.

Campus visits on the Public Service Roadshow are customized to meet the unique needs of colleges and universities. Campus visits might include:

We tailor these sessions to students, and the advisors and staff who support students in their pursuit of public service careers. We also collaborate with career services programming, partner with on-campus groups, visit student centers and offer one-on-one advising sessions.

 

 

What’s in store for 2024?

Since the Call to Serve Network team cannot do in-person visits for all colleges and universities, we plan to host multiple virtual sessions for students all across the country.

Stay tuned for more information on our virtual sessions in 2024.
