About YELP

Class of 2017 YELP Experience

   

Liz Kakooza

The YELP fellowship has reinforced my commitment to improving my community through the work that I do. It has made me understand that I can remain socially conscious even through the different sectors and fields that I work in. The fellowship has made me understand that I do not have to be a saint to create change in the spaces that I work with. Sharing this journey with other young inspirational leaders has been a tremendous honor. From them I have learnt so much and continue to learn and with whom I hope to work with one day.
