Organization Affiliation During Your Fellowship Year

greatest impact of your fellowship year

The greatest impact of my fellowship year was being able to take the time out to invest in myself - professionally and personally. The time invested filled me up personally through solo travel that allowed me to connect and engage with women like me. Earning the CDE certification was an achievement I had been wanting to pursue for some time. All in all, I ended my fellowship year feeling fulfilled.

Why would you recommend the York federal fellows program?

I would recommend the York Federal Fellows Program because, as nonprofit leaders, we spend a lot of time doing for and investing in others. The York Federal Fellows Program gives you permission to invest in yourself.
