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.

AP and ADIVIMA work to promote positive social change and offer various ways for interested individuals to support the Rio Negro Memorial Quilt, in Bosnia and abroad. Email us for more information!

Exhbit the Quilt: The AP team can help you to organize a showing of the quilt at your university, business, or community center. Contact Marina for more information. 
 
Build the Network: AP is developing a constituency of universities, high schools, teachers, diaspora organizations and committed individuals (including past AP Peace Fellows). Email us and join the Friends of ADIVIMA mailing list!
 
Organize an Event: AP can offer a wide range of tools to be used for outreach, meetings and events. We have a great deal of information about ADIVIMA and its campaigns and can provide speakers, visiting delegations, Peace Fellows, movies, photos, video footage, and handicrafts.  
 
Lobby: AP organizes lobbying and advocacy on ADIVIMA’s behalf in order to generate support for their campaigns. 
 
Raise Funds: AP raises funds for partners in ways that are informative, exciting and rewarding. Help the Rio Negro Memorial Quilt grow by commissioning a panel. If you would like to support the next in a series of Río Negro Memorial Textiles, we welcome your donation of $40 per textile square. The money will directly fund the work of one survivor to commemorate a brave family member who died senselessly in an act of genocide. Also visit our Give section.  
 
Volunteer: AP relies on volunteers!  Apply for a Peace Fellowship to work in Rabinal with ADIVIMA . It also possible to intern or volunteer at the AP office in Washington, DC. Join our network and organize an event. Follow Heidi McKinnon’s blog, or read blogs of former ADIVIMA Peace Fellows.
