Congratulations to Ryan Humphreys ( class of 2019!) who was offered a permanent position with our Operating Partner, The Institute.

"After leaving the Air Force in 2018, Ryan was looking for a new way to serve his community, using the skills he’d learned in his six years of service. Ryan job searched for a few months, but nothing seemed to be a good fit... Reading the description [for Public Allies], Ryan had a gut feeling that Public Allies was exactly where he needed to be."
