" I’m very delighted to be part of the Millennium Fellowship and I’m also excited to be able to carry out the project that I founded to make a social impact in my community, specifically in the valley of my hometown. My team and I are very excited about what inspires you to get to do this program.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Jóvenes Líderes por el Valle
Jóvenes Líderes por el Valle is a project created by young leaders from the city of Mexicali, located in Baja California, Mexico, with the objective of helping the communities of the Mexicali Valley through the Sustainable Development Goals #3 Good Health, #4 Quality Education and #11 Sustainable Cities and Communities. With this project, we hope to help the most vulnerable communities in the Valley by providing educational workshops for the children of the community as well as cleanup brigades in which the entire community can participate to promote and raise awareness about environmental care in order to create a sustainable community where citizens can be in a pollution-free environment for a better quality of life.
