A Voice For the Voiceless

The Advocacy Project helps marginalized communities to tell their story, claim their rights and produce social change.

We are currently recruiting 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.

Help Promote Girls Education in Afghanistan

The Oruj Learning Center began in 2003, providing classes to 36 girls in a mosque. This year, Oruj supported the education of almost 3,000 girls, and brought female teachers to inaccessible areas in the Wardak province. AP, and our Peace Fellows, have played an important role in assisting this impressive expansion.
