A Voice For the Voiceless

The Advocacy Project helps marginalized communities to tell their story, claim their rights and produce social change. We recruit graduate students to volunteer as Peace Fellows with partners.

The Impact of Service



"I look at myself as having the potential to be as strong and caring as the amazing women I met in Kenya."

Kate Cummings (Tufts University) volunteered in 2009 as a Peace Fellow for Vital Voices in Africa.

Children in Nepal designed panels for a blanket that is being used by AP's partner, BASE, to publicize child labour and raise awareness.

The Advocacy Project (AP) helps marginalized communities to produce social change. This is done by partnering with advocates from the communities themselves. We believe strongly that change must start with those who are directly affected by abuse. AP recruits graduate students (Peace Fellows) to help partners develop information tools and launch campaigns. AP partners can expect to produce information, and develop a network, within as little as three months. More often than not, they will then take action and claim their rights. This, to AP, is the start of social change.
