..and not just because I’m a featured fellow this month! As you can read in my interview, progressive NGO Young People For has been the support that I needed to further believe that I am an agent of change in this changing world.

For any college students looking to empower themselves, get the resources/skills necessary to define and implement your visions, and so much more, Young People For is the now accepting applications for it’s 2009 Fellowship class. And take it from me, the fellowship is a priceless opportunity!

This summer, I was privileged to take my fellowship one step further and be a summer intern at their NYC office. The Young People For staff are hard working, passionate, and effective and I’m glad that I had the chance to get to know the people who help make this fellowship possible. See for yourself:

Peace and Progress,
