THE ACADEMY FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
Civic education and public service leadership development
Who We Are
The Academy for Public Service is a not-for-profit, non-partisan public service leadership organization that aims to educate students on the place of public service in our society.
By allowing students to model the roles of various elected offices we are teaching the complex world of public service at a foundational level.
​
We believe that by enabling students to step into the world of public service as executive, legislative, and legal officials we are promoting civic education practically.
