Public Allies is a national movement committed to advancing social justice and equity by engaging and activating the leadership of all young people. Since 1992, we have helped thousands of underrepresented young leaders serve our country, get on successful pathways to higher education

Benefits for our members include a $16,500 living stipend, free basic health insurance, childcare assistance (if applicable) and a $5,920 AmeriCorps Education Award for each of our program graduates. In addition, individuals completing the program gain access to our National Alumni
