THE ACADEMY FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
Why are we doing this?
Democracy and public service must be learned by each generation. It is our duty to teach them.
"Public Service means educating, leading, sharing, and developing society in a way that is beneficial to everyone."
"I think that if I was elected tomorrow I could get a handle on things."
"Passing hard legislation forced us to negotiate and interact and build lasting friendships."
To learn, to lead, to serve.
In order for public servants to uphold the ideals of duty, honor, and justice, they must be taught why it is important. Through the Academy for Public Service students of service are supported in developing their ideas and challenging the status quo. We foster connections across generations of leaders to ensure the longevity of our democracy.
