Welcome to Public Allies Maryland

Public Allies Maryland is a program of the Social Work Community Outreach Service (SWCOS) of the University of Maryland School of Social Work. Public Allies Maryland launched in October 2009 with a class of 20 Allies and continues today with its class of 25!

Public Allies Maryland delivers innovative forms of public service throughout Maryland by providing leadership experiences and professional training to a diverse group of future leaders.  We place these young leaders in community based organizations and public agencies to build the organization’s capacity to serve their communities better. We also work to mentor those organizations to become stable and sustainable. 

Public Allies Maryland builds leaders and strengthens organizations to effect positive change in communities.
