MIAMI, Florida – On Friday, March 4th, Public Allies will put their leadership and mentorship skills to practice at Miami Children’s Initiative’s Fun Friday Service Day in Liberty City. This year’s cohort of Public Allies—along with alumni and partners—will volunteer as classroom assistants for children in Kindergarten through 5th grade, helping them with project-based learning and outdoor activities.

Adren Wilson, CEO of Public Allies, will visit Miami for the first time since taking over the national organization. In addition to Mr. Wilson, young adults participating in the day of service will get to work alongside another community leader, Miami-Dade County Deputy Mayor Russell Benford.

Public Allies are role models in their communities. They spend ten months learning how to build capacity in the nonprofit sector while growing as effective, strong leaders. During their paid AmeriCorps apprenticeships, Public Allies gain invaluable professional experience that equips them to succeed in their careers and education. The program is currently recruiting Public Allies and partners for the 2016-2017 cohort.
