Today, we are taking a look at 5 insightful fellow blog posts over the past two years. Each post was written by a previous fellow during their fellowship. They highlight stories of special moments with youth, project successes, challenges, and lessons learned along the way. From facilitating family engagement workshops to implementing a health program, building evaluation tools, or coordinating a large event, these five blog posts provide a glimpse of the skills and experiences our fellows take away from the fellowship.
