A Public Service Academy

Hey! It’s been a few days and we have a new addition to our team, Fred Muna. Hey! I go to the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth majoring in Political Science and Economics, I enjoy traveling and playing soccer. Welcome.

In our work here at YSA, we recently learned about the proposal for a U.S. Public Service Academy (PSA), an idea generated by two Teach for America alumni. Their plan is to create an undergraduate institution devoted to developing civilian leaders for the public sector. This school will be modeled on the military academies, the PSA will offer four years of tuition-free education in exchange for five years of civilian service following graduation. The full details for their plan are available on their website, click here.

The three of us interns agree that this is a great idea. It will serve as an alternative to people who may not be interested in serving in the military. Young people want and can serve our country in a variety of ways. Not all of us posses the skills or interest to join the military, the Academy will allow us to still serve our country. Would you be for this type of alternative service to the country?

Have a good weekend.
Matthew, Gina, and Fred
