" Becoming a Millennium Fellow gives me the oppurtunity to make a lasting impact on my community while recieving the support necessary to do so. The skills I gain from this fellowship will better prepare me to continue with and advance my work within the social justice sector while also giving me the oppurtunity to branch out into different fields. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Fare Trade
Fare Trade is a student-led mutual-aid initiative designed to address SDG #2, Zero Hunger. The project will consist of three parts that build on each other to take action, raise awareness, and ensure that our project is positively impacting the community and lives it touches but is overall sustainable. Part one will be coordinated by Marisa Medici as she partners with Chartwells, Pace’s campus dining provider, and the Auxiliary Services department to develop a method where students can opt to transfer their extenuating meal points to students who cannot afford to replenish their funds or select a bountiful meal plan due to high costs. In part two, Alex Kennedy will be working to implement a delivery service with Pace’s on-campus food pantry Provisions and the nonprofit organization Invisible Hands Delivers. Doing so would allow food-insecure Pace community members to get access to pantry resources when the pantry is not on its regularly scheduled hours and get products delivered to them. Tasfia Rahim will oversee part three by monitoring and conducting a social media campaign that will highlight information about food insecurity, its effects, and statistics related to it for the Pace University Community. The Instagram page will also be used as a resource for Pace students to learn about other food-focused organizations within New York City (especially students who are taking civic engagement and volunteerism courses). Tasfia also spearheads the marketing of the project in collaboration with Chartwells’s marketing manager.
