THE ACADEMY FOR PUBLIC SERVICE
Want to support the Academy, but don't know where to start?
You can donate today through our secure Resilia campaign to help us train the future leaders of your town, your county, and your country.

As a 501c3 registered organization in good standing with the IRS and the states of Arkansas and Texas, all donations made to the program are tax deductible. Our Tax ID number is 86-2848894.
The Academy for Public Service empowers students to address critical social issues through direct training in governance. By enabling youth to gain hands-on experience crafting policy solutions, they become civic ambassadors equipped to address challenges locally and nationally. However, without support, many motivated students will miss this opportunity. Your generous donation ensures the next generation acquires leadership skills to effect positive change through civic service. Your donation helps to ensure students can participate, regardless of ability to pay. Approximately 60% of our students either come from or represent low-income communities. Give youth a voice in democracy and donate today to transform their ideas into action.
