Description
Founded in 2004, the mission of the Clinton School of Public Service is to educate and prepare professionals in public service who understand, engage, and transform complex social, cultural, economic, and political systems to ensure equity, challenge oppression, and effect positive social change at home and across the globe. Students apply master’s in public service course curricula to real-life situations that require empathy, effective communication, analytical thinking, understand what public service leadership “looks like” in international settings; and grow academically, professionally, and personally. Partner organizations will have experienced increased capacity to serve more people, develop new programs and/or services, create better systems/programs/services, obtain new funding, and increase their public profile. A Carnegie Corporation grant will support 45 students with $5,000 stipends during their 8 – 12 – week project “on the ground’ with an international organization, culminating in 240 hours of public service work each.
