In addition, smaller teams of Allies combine their time and talents to plan and execute a service project that addresses a common concern, determined by building consensus among the group and community members.
Allies will use their new leadership skills to help strengthen the organizations they are placed with, as well as connect to leaders and organizations in their community to help address real issues. In addition, Public Allies receive a monthly stipend of $1,400, access to health care and child care, student loan deferment, and an education award of $5,730 after completing the program to pay back student loans or pay for future education.
