" Being a part of the Millennium Foundation means having the opportunity to strengthen connection within my community as well as involve myself deeper into philanthropic work, specifically with local refugee populations. The fellowship will help me to grow my leadership and cooperation skills not only in my community, but also globally. Additionally, a platform to form connections with like-minded individuals from diverse cultures and backgrounds is something I have always searched for, and the fellowship provides this. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Community Book Drive
Our project aimed to collect books and other school materials in order to distribute the materials to underfunded schools in our local community in need of resources. We also aim to grow this initiative and once we achieve success, we plan on expanding our project to include a more diverse array of schools throughout the country.
