Mission

The Policy Academies (TPA) shapes a fair, just, and fully inclusive future by cultivating a new generation of highly trained, principled, and service-driven policy leaders from underserved communities. These leaders will develop and advance systems-level solutions to the most pressing and intractable social and economic justice challenges of our times. Our aim is to transform the public policy field by equipping these emerging leaders with the skills, knowledge, and networks to prepare them for careers that will expand economic opportunity and mobility throughout the nation. We are also building an ecosystem of changemakers to support these leaders. Together, this multigenerational community will strengthen and protect our multiracial democracy and the integrity of its institutions -- essential foundations for the implementation of sound policies that advance the public good and create a future of shared prosperity for all.
