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.

Her research interest borders on restorative justice and international relations especially in areas of conflict resolution and human rights. Not one to be labeled or boxed—born in America, raised in Nigeria, lived in other countries—her interests and activities are cross-cultural, around the issue of justice and empathy. She is currently researching the issue of America, Iran, restorative justice, and diplomacy as it relates to foreign policy.
