" I am deeply passionate about supporting individuals struggling with mental illness and homelessness. I believe that with the right care, resources, and understanding, those facing these challenges have incredible potential to transform their lives. Just as others have believed in my dreams and aspirations, I want to be the person who believes in and supports those who are often overlooked, helping them realize their own worth and possibilities.

Millennium Fellowship Project: Community Volunteer Connect

Our mission is to bridge the gap between local nonprofit organizations in need of volunteers and college students seeking meaningful community engagement. As students transition into new environments, they often face a loss of community, contributing to rising levels of anxiety and depression. We aim to accelerate students' immersion into their local neighborhoods through volunteering, which not only enhances mental well-being but also fulfills service requirements for student organizations. By creating a central hub for grassroots nonprofits to list opportunities, we will foster impactful connections where student contributions can make a tangible difference. Leveraging university partnerships and outreach, we strive to expand this initiative, starting with Northeastern University and eventually serving other institutions, ensuring that students engage deeply with their communities rather than larger, resource-heavy organizations.
