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.

- Today we mark the 35th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. While many segments of the Berlin Wall can be seen around the world, there is only one “Signature Segment,” and it is permanently on display at the State Department’s National Museum of American Diplomacy in Washington. The 13-foot-high, nearly three-ton piece of the Berlin Wall on display in the museum is known as the “Signature Segment” for its unique collection of signatures by activists, diplomats, and political leaders who fought to end communist rule in Eastern Europe. Among the 27 signers were German Chancellor Helmut Kohl, U.S. President George H.W. Bush, and Premier of the Soviet Union Mikhail Gorbachev. Learn more about the rise and fall of the Berlin Wall at the @NMADmuseum’s online exhibit: https://lnkd.in/ePzyGtik
- Join us today as we celebrate First-Generation College Celebration Day at the U.S. Department of State! As we shape U.S. #diplomacy around the globe, we draw from the diverse talents and experiences of our workforce to execute U.S. foreign policy overseas and at home. Our first-generation college graduates at the Department have overcome barriers and obstacles that others may not have encountered. They contribute new and different approaches to solving complex problems, bringing their lived experience and diverse backgrounds to the table. Their contributions not only enhance our mission but also strengthen our commitment to a more inclusive and representative diplomacy. All along their journey, they have developed the necessary skills and competencies without the benefit of a generational roadmap to success. These graduates leverage their talents to build social capital and economic stability for themselves and their families. First-generation college graduates serve at all levels of the Department, from some of our newest employees to our most seasoned. Recruiting and retaining first-generation college students in our Foreign and Civil Service is essential to our commitment to building a workforce that reflects the diversity of the United States that we represent to the world. As we celebrate today, we encourage everyone in our community to recognize the unique contributions of first-generation employees and support the pathways to success for future first-gen leaders. #celebratefirstgen FirstGen Forward Council for Opportunity in Education Maria Brewer
