Empowering and Inspiring Public Servants
The Volcker Alliance, founded by former Federal Reserve Board Chairman Paul A. Volcker, is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering the public sector workforce to solve the challenges facing our nation.
Students from Across the Country Explore Public Service at Summer Policy Academy
From June 14 to July 3, 65 rising college seniors participated in the NextGen Service Summer Policy Academy (SPA), an immersive program designed to introduce students to careers in public service. Programming began in Washington, DC—a first visit to the capital for many students. Students then spent two weeks at one of three host schools: the University of California, Berkeley's Goldman School of Public Policy, the University of Minnesota's Humphrey School of Public Affairs, or the University of Washington's Evans School of Public Policy and Governance.
2025 Annual Report
Mr. Volcker envisioned a public sector workforce with the experience, preparation, and commitment to ensure that government is accountable and delivers with excellence.
There has never been a more critical and publicly resonant moment to advance Mr. Volcker’s vision. By listening, learning, adapting, and innovating, the Volcker Alliance has developed a strategy for public service renewal in 2026 and beyond.

Our Work
We promote innovation in public service education, connect talent to government jobs, empower leaders to build the democracy of our future, and inspire others with the story of Paul Volcker's commitment to public service.
