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. For more 2011 feedback click here.

Supporting the Dosta! Roma Quilt

Kerry McBroom Peace Fellow Kerry McBroom (American University) coordinated the Dosta! quilt project, in partnership with friends at the Council of Europe. She also wrote the profiles for these pages. The Dosta! quilt was the first Roma advocacy quilt undertaken by AP.  Based on her experience, Kerry was also able to advise Fellows Samantha Hammer and Beth Wofford on the making of the Czech Roma Quilt, the Prizren Roma Quilt, and the Gracanica Roma Quilt.
