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.

Caste discrimination continues to blight the lives of Nepal’s Dalits. The Jagaran Media Center (JMC), an AP partner, is using its national network of Dalit journalists to expose discrimination in the villages of Nepal.  Since the beginning of the partnership, AP has used its Peace Fellows to help organize and train the reporters.
