" I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because it offers a unique platform to turn ideas into impactful action, connect with like-minded change makers, and contribute to solutions that create lasting positive change in communities and beyond. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Traiv
Traiv is a youth-focused initiative that equips young people with practical digital skills and values-based personal growth so they can create opportunities for themselves and positively impact their communities.
During the Millennium Fellowship, Traiv made meaningful progress toward its goals. We were able to reach approximately 800 through physical seminars, workshops, and related activities.
On the positive side, the sessions we held were highly engaging and impactful. Participants gave strong feedback about how Traiv helped them think differently about digital skills, consistency, and values-based growth. The in-person format also created room for honest conversations, questions, and relationship-building, which strengthened the quality of impact.
