A Note from the Volcker Alliance staff

Welcome to the inaugural NextGen Service Summer Policy Academy (SPA)!

We’re thrilled to have you join us for this immersive program, bringing together 76 rising college seniors from 24 universities across 23 states!

Throughout the program, you’ll build new skills, grow your professional network, and gain firsthand insight into the many pathways and opportunities within public service. This program is designed to serve as a launchpad for the future impact in this critical field.

This webpage will be your central hub for all things SPA—from daily agendas to dress codes to guest speaker bios and more. Explore all the tabs!

To help keep everyone connected, we’ve created a GroupMe chat for communication with the chaperones staying with you at Howard and with us. Please check the chat regularly, as it will be our main channel for important updates during your time in DC.

The Volcker Alliance and university teams are here to support you throughout the program. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to contact us via GroupMe or email. Contact information for chaperones is available on this website.

We're so glad you’re here—let’s make it a great summer!

Warm regards,

Yesenia Martinez and Hamelin Batista
