What Alumni Say About the Fellowship
Former MYPF Testimonials
I’m proud to have affected at least 50 people at my school with my workshops on understanding/empathy with nonviolent communication, awareness of implicit biases, and psychological concepts...
Edwin Carlos 
You have been so kind & thoughtful & I've really enjoyed this fellowship. Thanks 4 everything.
Jamie MargolinFounder: Zero Hour Youth Climate Action Network 
I think one of the most influential aspects of being an MYPF is learning how social advocacy works in the real world. The planning, developing, and execution of my project was heavily based on understanding people and how I could empower them to take action and continue to do so. In social justice work and in a healthy work environment, these skills are essential.
