Partnership for Public Service

The Partnership for Public Service is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to building a better government and a stronger democracy. Central to this mission is our work to connect the government with those it serves by protecting it from harm and reimagining the way it works on behalf of the public.  

 

Building on our over 20 years of experience, we:

  • Prepare civil servants to navigate an increasingly complex federal environment
  • Educate and engage the public about the value of government and how eroding its capacity hurts communities nationwide 
  • Collaborate with a range of stakeholders to advance bold reforms that seek to make our federal institutions more effective, responsive and accountable to the American people
  • Equip and advise government leaders at the federal, state and local levels to develop critical skills for effective public service.

 

Our staff, diverse in experience and perspective, is mission-driven, creative, collaborative, optimistic and inclusive. Our work is strategic, fast-paced and guided by our values: 

  • Passion for public service and our work toward more effective government 
  • People who promote a culture of learning, leadership, collaboration, inclusion and respect 
  • Persistence to drive change, take strategic risks and deliver results 
  • Promise to be trustworthy, nonpartisan and fiscally responsible
