Feinstein Fellows Partners

The Feinstein Fellows have been tremendous assets and partners in our work at Young Voices by providing personalized college access programming for our juniors and seniors. The Fellows build strong relationships with youth and staff, strengthen our college access curriculum, and support our team to enhance the capacity of young people to reach their highest aspirations, for themselves and their communities! ”
