About us
The U.S. Department of State is focused on accomplishing America's mission of diplomacy at home and around the world. The U.S. Department of State manages America’s relationships with foreign governments, international organizations, and the people of other countries. U.S. diplomats and Civil Service professionals carry out the President’s foreign policy and help build a more free, prosperous, and secure world. U.S. Department of State employees, with their skills, character and commitment to public service, are the backbone of America's diplomacy. They represent the people and advocate the interests of the U.S. to the rest of the world. The Foreign Service (FS) is dedicated to representing America and responding to the needs of American citizens in other countries. Members of the Foreign Service can be sent to any embassy, consulate, or other diplomatic mission anywhere in the world, at any time, to serve the diplomatic needs of the United States. Civil Service (CS) employees provide in-depth expertise and continuity in accomplishing all aspects of the Department's mission and are involved in virtually every function of the Department. Civil Service employees issue passports, compile and analyze overseas reports, provide logistical support to posts, consult with Congress about foreign policy initiatives and policies, and formulate and manage the budget. Nearly 7,400 Civil Service (CS) employees serve as a stable resource pool in Washington D.C., at Passport Agencies and field offices throughout the United States, and at several Consulates in Mexico. More than 31,000 Foreign Service National (FSN) employees also supplement the personnel requirements of the Department overseas. FSN employees are local residents of the countries in which we maintain diplomatic posts and consulates. They are valued members of our embassy teams, for they provide continuity for the transient American staff and have language and cultural expertise.

You might have heard of the Foreign Press Center but may never have realized the Center is part of the State Department. The centers, in Washington, D.C. and in New York City, give accredited journalists from around the world who are posted in the United States direct access to U.S. government officials and other American information sources. We also connect them with experts on U.S. policy and culture to help explain complex issues. For some reporters from other parts of the world, that is a stark difference from the restraints they have back home — where getting accurate information is restricted. That is especially true if they live in countries with authoritative leaders. We support the freedom of the press worldwide and our Foreign Press Centers demonstrate that. Want to know more? Join us as we explore the New York Foreign Press Center.

Secretaries of State routinely welcome our interns to the Department. But did you know that several years ago, one of those interns ended up serving as Secretary of State? Yep. Condoleezza Rice, 66th Secretary of State, started as an intern in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs in the 1970s. Plenty has changed since then: smartphones, the internet, the jobs that interns perform. But a big difference is that our largest internship program, the Student Internship Program, is now a paid program. The move is part of the Secretary’s Modernization Agenda that seeks to ensure the Department attracts and retains top talent that reflects the diversity of the United States. Congrats to the more than 230 interns who took the oath earlier this summer and are now headed back to school. We’ll be watching out to see if any of you become secretary in the years to come.
