Government, Public Service, Law
(GPsL)

Government, Public Service and Law (GPsL) focuses on on initiatives that shape and influence public policy to ensure that fundamental rights and needs of the public are universally recognized.

Opportunities exist within public and private sectors and ranges from work in policy, advocacy, law, civil service in local, state and federal government. Work in electoral campaigns is also part of GPsL. A resilient and collaborative mindset is crucial for success, as is the ability to work with diverse groups and cultures.

TIPS

Keep up with news on a local, state, national and international scale.

Gain experience through volunteering or canvassing for the political causes most important to you or your community.

In addition to government institutions, seek out grass roots organizations that empower communities to keep themselves safe and healthy.
"If you served with the Peace Corps or AmeriCorps VISTA as a volunteer or volunteer leader, you may qualify for non-competitive eligibility. This means that a federal agency can hire you outside of the usual competitive examining process
