" I am thrilled to be a Millennium Fellow for the Class of 2025. This is a vital time to meaningfully engage to advance the Sustainable Development Goals, and I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to my cohort and the world at large. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: NATIONAL YOUTH POLICY DOMESTICATION
"To localize the National Youth Policy, establish youth-led councils to ensure inclusive, representative governance. These bodies bridge the gap between national goals and community-specific needs.
Prioritize skills-based workshops and seed funding to catalyze socio-economic empowerment. By decentralizing implementation and providing direct resources, we transform policy into tangible local impact. This approach ensures every campus and community can drive its own sustainable growth."
