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.

Blogging for Peace

Since the start of the program, interns and Fellows have been expected to post blogs on the AP website. This has grown into one of the most distinctive and popular features of the Fellowship program. Blogging seeks to:

Provide a personal and readable account of the Fellow’s work and profile the advocacy of his or her host
Air important issues which do not receive coverage by providing raw material for AP news bulletins, which are distributed to the mainstream and online media.
Help partners to define and launch new campaigns
Allow Fellows to express their feelings and air their frustrations. This is particularly important for Fellows who are posted in isolated, insecure areas.
Build connections between Fellows and outreach partners in the United States.
Encourage an online debate (through the comment function).

Blog digests: The Advocacy Project issues regular summaries of blogs by AP Peace Fellows. These are archived in this section. To receive current digests in your inbox, please subscribe to AdvocacyNet using the blue subscription box to the left.
