Universities Strategize to Scale Constructive Dialogue
As polarization deepens, the ability to engage productively across disagreements, or “constructive dialogue,” has never been more critical. On June 4, the Stavros Niarchos Foundation (SNF) Ithaca Initiative at the University of Delaware and the Volcker Alliance hosted delegations from nine schools of public service—members of the Deans Summit and the Constructive Dialogue Scaling Initiative—for a national convening on scaling constructive dialogue programming on campus.
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 Approach
Our work is organized into four “lenses” to advance our mission. Our most impactful initiatives cut across all lenses, educating, empowering, connecting, and inspiring current and future public servants.
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.
