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.
Meet the 2026-2027 Rising Leaders
The Up to Us Professional Pathways program is proud to announce the inaugural cohort of 25 Rising Leaders. Together, they bring diverse experiences, intellectual curiosity, and a shared commitment to addressing the nation’s most pressing fiscal and public policy challenges. The Rising Leaders program was created by the Volcker Alliance, funded by the Peter G. Peterson Foundation, to propel exceptional young people into careers with the power to shape the nation’s fiscal future.
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.

Our Work
