Welcome to Public Allies New York

Public Allies New York is the leading-edge leadership development program in New

York City.  We build strong community leadership skills among young adults

through full-time professional apprenticeships in non-profit organizations,

leadership training, and community service.

We are currently working with our Ninth class of Public Allies.  The Allies are

providing legal counseling to low-income New Yorkers at the Urban Justice

Center, conducting professional development training at Project Renewal,

raising awareness about sexual orientation issues with the Gay Lesbian

Straight Education Network (GLSEN) and coordinating after-school programs

at Project Reach Youth.

On average, fifty percent of our Allies are offered full-time positions in the agencies

where they work. An additional thirty percent of our Allies return to school to

complete their undergraduate or pursue advance degrees.  Allies have also

completed comminity service projects in conjunction with twelve

community-based organizations that focus on economic justice, literacy,

health and issues with the trans-gendered community and media.

This site has the latest information on the Public Allies New York program.  We are

encouraging Allies, Alumni, Partner Organizations and community supporters to

share this exciting year with Public Allies New York and support us as we create the

next generation of nonprofit leaders.

Become a Partner Organization

 We are committed to creating partnerships with nonprofits to develop opportunities for

young adults.  The Allies in our program create innovative solutions for critical and

social problems that face our communities.

Partner Organizations contribute $13,600.50 to our program and gain almost

$38,000 in service value- the cost of hiring, training and employing an entry level 

employee with benefits, a network and the value of the volunteer hours they generate

for their agencies.

If the Public Allies program is compatible with your organization's mission and

capabilities, please consider becoming a partner with Public Allies New York.

For detailed information about a Public Allies New York partnership, 

contact Kody Emmanuel, Public Allies New York's Program Director,

at kodye@publicallies.org or 212-213-9741 ext.16.

Public Allies New York has created its first Alumni Advisory Board

in Spring 2006. Members of the board are committed to Public Allies

New York and will be driving the alumni program for the next 2 years.

Some of their initiatives over the next 12 months include organizing

an Alumni Reception to reconnect program graduates, as well as an

Alumni Giving Campaign. The Board also recently launched Public

Allies New York's first Mentoring Program, where alumni serve as

mentors to current Allies. A Public Allies New York Speakers’ Bureau

is also being developed as a way to support alumni who wish to serve

as the public voice of Public Allies. In addition to the innovative projects

listed, the board will bring together resources, opportunities and trainings
