Govern for America (GfA) builds the next generation of American public sector leaders to create more effective and responsive government. We recruit, train, develop, and connect high-potential recent graduates from diverse backgrounds to key roles in states across the nation through a two-year fellowship program. GfA helps these talented and service-minded individuals find a pathway into high-impact roles in states and equips them with a toolkit to create a culture of effective government.
