Partnership for Public Service

The Partnership for Public Service is a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization that is 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, the Partnership has helped make this vision a reality, helping our government address the challenges of the moment and those to come.

  • While others may debate whether government should be bigger or smaller, we focus on making it better.

Our Impact

We recognize exceptional federal employees at the nation’s preeminent awards program for public servants, the Samuel J. Heyman Service to America Medals® , hold federal agencies accountable for creating healthy and productive workplaces through the most authoritative rating of employee engagement in the federal government—the Best Places to Work in the Federal Government® rankings—and help lay the groundwork for a new administration or a president’s second term through our Center for Presidential Transition®.

We also administer a range of fellowship and internship programs that enable government to fill critical talent gaps, offer an extensive portfolio of leadership development courses that help federal employees become more effective leaders who drive change at their agencies, champion key federal management reforms in Congress and more.
