“The work I had a chance to do gave me a unique perspective into what is required to serve in the non-profit sector, and an incredible foundation that I would like to keep building onto in the future. It helped me to realize the amount of social issues many of those around us face, and what can be done to help combat those and help those afflicted by them.”​

“I remember during my interview at the AlumniCorps office back in senior year just how passionate everyone seemed about getting us young people engaged in the community. I think this year has absolutely lived up to these initial impressions – I have felt supported and cheered on the entire way.”​

“I want to thank AlumniCorps for this excellent opportunity. The Project 55 Fellowship Program makes such a huge difference not just in the Princeton alumni community, but also in so many communities throughout the country. Having this support made a world of difference in how I navigated issues and my overall fellowship experience.”​

“I was connected to a great org I never would have found otherwise as a graduating philosophy major; P55 opened up doors for me by connecting my background in humanities to a wide array of jobs that break the traditional view of what you can do with that kind of degree. I never would have thought to see myself in a role like the one I’m in now as I stay full time here, or had the runway to build the skills and relationships that got me here. It connected me to a city and people in it who wanted to help me grow professionally and personally. It was also a crucial source of support in a very rocky first year out of college that happened to include a pandemic! I’m so appreciative of the doors the program opened for me and the career path it’s helping me shape.”

“My fellowship contributed to my personal growth by 1) helping me becoming more of a self-starter in the workplace and 2) helping me become more comfortable with uncertainty, particularly through my mentor relationship. I improved significantly in both of these skills, and will certainly take them with me moving forward :)”
