“ This program planted seeds of positive change. I learned to be an "activist", to make a difference in community by helping to speak out for a cause or give people with little or no voice a voice...I learned about different organizations and understood how I can help them to promote their causes... I found that directors are more than happy to ” participate because by spreading the word we magnify their voices. ANNA GENSCHOW, DfC Fellow
