Public service is an essential pillar upon which the Fellows' leadership development is based. PII provides ninth-grade Fellows with an opportunity to explore the issues challenging their communities and to learn firsthand that individuals can make a difference.

Fellows work at nonprofit organizations such as the Association to Benefit Children, American Museum of Natural History, The GO Project, and The Carter Burden Center for the Aging. Fellows gain valuable work experience and are able to give back to their communities.
