Welcome to the Partnership for Public Service

Hello! You’ve just been introduced to “Blockers,” a story of what’s at stake when our government is dismantled and how dedicated public servants upheld their oath of office when it mattered most.

The Partnership for Public Service is a leading nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that works to build a better government and a stronger democracy.

To meet this mission, the Partnership supports and advocates for civil servants, builds public appreciation for our government and develops reforms to transform the way it works, enabling better service to us all.

With our government facing unprecedented challenges, this work has never been more critical. Explore some of our initiatives below to learn what we are doing to make a difference and how you can help champion and enable a government that works more effectively for the public.
