As a Foreign Service Officer (FSO), you'll engage with foreign governments, advocate for American interests, and help shape global policy across political, economic, and humanitarian priorities. FSOs represent the U.S. at embassies and consulates around the world—often in high-stakes, fast-changing environments.
The Foreign Service is a career that families can share together. As a U.S. diplomat, your spouse, partner, and eligible family members may accompany you on overseas assignments, creating enriching experiences around the world. While each post varies, government-paid housing, access to American or international schools, and family support services are available at many locations.
