Public Service Ambassador Initiative
The Volcker Alliance is now accepting applications for the Public Service Ambassador Initiative! This new initiative is seeking AmeriCorps alumni from across the country to engage young people, strengthen civic participation, and inspire the next generation of public servants.
As a Public Service Ambassador, you will host listening sessions in your community to understand the issues that matter most to young people and explore their perspectives on the role of government in addressing those issues; organize community events; and connect young people with pathways to service.
As AmeriCorps alumni, your lived experience in service, deep community ties, and ability to navigate diverse stakeholders make you uniquely well-positioned for this work. The skills you built during your service in facilitation, coalition-building, and policy implementation are exactly what this initiative calls for.
Time commitment: Approximately 20 hours per month, with flexibility to align with other responsibilities
Duration: July-December 2026
Compensation: $4,000 plus a modest budget to support community events through reimbursement of eligible expenses
Orientation & Training: Ambassadors must participate in an in-person structured orientation, facilitation training program, and a co-design workshop the week of July 13, 2026, before launching community-based activities; travel expenses and training will be provided free of charge to the Ambassadors
Ongoing support: Ambassadors will participate in cohort-building activities, coaching, and mentoring throughout the program
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis. Priority will be given to applications submitted by May 4, 2026. Reach out to AmeriCorpsAlumni@volckeralliance.org with any questions.
