Public Service Recognition Week

Civic Technology Community Group,

Public Service Recognition Week is celebrated the first week of May since 1985 (beginning on the first Sunday of the month) to honor the people who serve our nation as federal, state, county, local and tribal government employees.


Our Nation’s over 20 million public servants work hard to deliver for our families, communities, and country. Their work matters to people’s everyday lives: They keep neighborhoods safe and the buses running, and build futures for people in their hometowns. They are the lifeblood of our democracy, acting as brave first responders, election workers, and service members defending our country. This week, we recognize our Nation’s public servants, who do the humble yet critical work of keeping our country running.

Federal, state, local and tribal employees are dedicated to making a difference, and we honor and appreciate their efforts to protect our country and safeguard the health and well-being of the public.

These government workers educate our children, maintain our infrastructure, strengthen our nation’s security, find cures for disease, serve our veterans, protect our interests around the world, defend cyberspace, and ensure we have safe food and clean water. And those are just some of the essential services they provide.

Most of us interact with front-line civil servants when we seek government services. Many other civil servants work outside of the public eye, receiving little of the spotlight for a wide range of incredible accomplishments. And we are all better for it.

Take time during Public Service Recognition Week to honor the people whose job it is to serve the public good. Show them how much we appreciate their contributions to our great nation.
