Public Allies identifies young, diverse, and passionate social change makers who support community projects in partnership with local nonprofit organizations. Allies experience a rigorous AmeriCorps program that combines full-time nonprofit apprenticeships, intensive skills training, and an active community-building team service project.

Public Allies Cohorts Advancing the Next Generation Creative Class… This cohort focuses on creating relationships, venues, and opportunities for young professionals with skills in technology, alternative social media, and the arts to enhance the services or capacity of non-profit organizations to serve those in need. In addition, the activities of this cohort should use these various art forms to raise awareness about the need for volunteer action and prompt more civic participation and citizen engagement.Economic Justice… This cohort will be focused on activities that provide direct service to those suffering from issues of poverty, homelessness, hunger and lack of employment (or underemployment). In addition, services that raise awareness provide interpersonal skills and resources, and institutional remedies to address health care disparities that result from lack of access, lack of education or environmental conditions that may be systemic in nature.Youth Leadership Development… This cohort focuses on activities that enhance the self awareness, ability, and/or opportunities of youth to acquire the 40 Developmental Assets (Search Institute) that serve as a foundation for making a successful transition into adult life. These activities can be in the form of after school programs (cultural enrichment and academic enhancement), mentoring programs, equity education (diversity and inclusion retreats, conflict resolution, peer mediation, service learning) or character development initiatives. |
