Public Service beyond Government

Public service isn’t limited to government offices or frontline emergency roles—it also includes people who use their talents and platforms to serve the public good in unconventional ways. Artists, journalists, community organizers, and others contribute by shaping culture, sharing truth, and giving voice to issues that matter. Whether through storytelling, creative expression, or grassroots action, these individuals remind us that serving the public can take many forms, all of which play a vital role in strengthening communities and inspiring change.
