We have a problem: our best and brightest talent isn't tackling our toughest issues. But we have good news: our youngest generation is hungry to take these challenges on — especially in the places they call home. Lead for America leans into this drive by creating community-centered public service programs for our most passionate and capable young people to help make their communities strong, vibrant, and compassionate. All of our programs seek to address challenging environments — often in small towns and counties where the challenges are outpacing the resources available. We look for community members who prioritize humility, service, and collective impact over self-advancement, who are just as committed to developing their character as they are their careers, and who are willing to question and vigorously pursue the intersection of their talents and the world’s deep need.
