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.

Sara Zampierin and Supporting Kids in Peru (SKIP)

Sara Zampierin is an AP Peace Fellow with AP’s partner organization, Supporting Kids in Peru (SKIP).

Sara was born and raised in California, and she recently graduated from Rice University in Houston, Texas, with a bachelor's in mathematical economic analysis, policy studies and managerial studies.

Previously, Sara worked with the Center for Capital Assistance, a nonprofit organization dedicated to conducting mitigation investigations and assisting attorneys who represent people facing execution across the country.

She also researched education policy throughout her undergraduate years, and worked with a mentoring program for at-risk elementary students.

After working with SKIP, Sara will work with a nonprofit organization and continue to advocate for children’s rights. She hopes to attend law school and pursue a career in human rights law.

Sara is incredibly excited about the opportunity to help children realize their right to an education by working with SKIP in Peru this summer. Please visit her change.org page to provide financial support.
