" As an individual who is dedicated and excited to bring about positive change within my community, I am beyond excited and honored to have the opportunity to take my advocacy work to the next level. As a Millennium Fellow, I look forward to networking and building connections with other advocates and organizations, within my community, that are also dedicated in creating a positive change. With the skills that I will gain from the Millennium Fellowship, I do plan to continue my advocacy work after graduation as a marine biologist, educator, conservationist, and a leader! "
Millennium Fellowship Project: ¡Bienvenidos A La Familia!
The project will focus on spreading awareness of LGBT+ youth and young adult homelessness at Florida International University by using various sources that are currently available within Miami-Dade. Our first focus is creating a webpage that had a variety of sources readily available for individuals who may need the resources and to decrease the time to research for opportunities.
