    ORGANIZATION

    The Partnership for Public Service is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to building a better government and a stronger democracy.

    We believe that our future and our democracy depend on our ability to solve big problems—and that we need an effective federal government to do so.

    For more than 20 years, we have helped make this vision a reality, helping our government—the public institution most fundamental to our democracy—address current and future challenges.

    Our staff is diverse in experience and perspective, but at our core we share a lot of the same traits.

    We are 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 a 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


    We hire smart and friendly people who are great at what they do and good to one another in the process.
