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.
