They choose mentors based on their remarkable achievement, strength of character and on their innovative approach to solving the community's toughest problems.
Research Fellows

Once selected, fellows are then invited to attend community meetings where they meet with the community and community leaders, sharing challenges and experiences while disseminate their solutions and ideas to the community.

Fellows participate by sharing their observations in an active profesional online network for an explosion of conversation and ideas.
