Through our signature AmeriCorps program, Public Allies identifies talented young adults from diverse and under-represented backgrounds who have a passion to make a difference, and helps them turn that passion into a viable career path. Allies become leaders who can engage and unite people of all backgrounds, lead effective projects and organizations, and commit long-term to creating a more just society with opportunity for all.

A rigorous leadership development curriculum delivered by community leaders, practitioners and educators, which includes:
- Intensive weekly skill training and leadership development seminars.
