Creating stronger, more equitable public systems by shifting power and agency to the communities they serve 
Public Works Alliance is a collaborative of policy experts, system leaders, researchers, and advocates.

We help public systems that serve children and low income families  increase revenue.

We design and implement career development p
rograms for  underserved and system-involved youth. 

We work for system change that:
  • Advances communities toward a place where every child has the opportunity to attain their potential, free from discrimination

  • Restores agency and power to underserved communities and families
    We believe equitable and just system transformation calls for more robust ways of:

    Leveraging the wisdom and power of communities to strengthen systems intended to serve them 

    Pursuing strategies that end legacies of multigenerational poverty and system involvement while addressing the trauma families have endured
    Integrating people who have been stigmatized and marginalized because of system involvement
