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



"Speaking with locals and living in a country is the best way to learn about the real lives of citizens, not just the stories in the mainstream media. I will be more critical of what I read as a result of this experience. I also feel even more grateful for my education, and I feel a stronger responsibility to assist others who do not have resources or access to opportunities in their communities."

Maria Skouras (New York University) volunteered in 2011 as a Peace Fellow for eHomemakers in Malaysia.

Amy Bracken and Sarstoon Temash Institute for Indigenous Management (SATIIM)

Amy Bracken is a long-time journalist with a passion for exploring the natural world, learning about different cultures, and sharing her craft. After graduating from Columbia University’s School of Journalism in 2003, Amy moved to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, where she spent two years reporting for Reuters, the Associated Press and other outlets. Since 2005, Amy has split most of her time between Haiti and her hometown, Boston, where she works as a freelance producer at the public radio program The World. She also spent a year in Valdez, Alaska, running the newsroom of a small radio station and reporting on ongoing effects and litigation relating to the 1989 Exxon-Valdez oil spill. Now at the Fletcher School at Tufts University, Amy is studying the political economy of development (including the impacts of natural resource exploitation), and international human rights law (including economic and social rights and rights of minority groups). Amy is extremely excited to work as an AP fellow with the Sarstoon-Temash Institute for Indigenous Management in Belize this summer.
