Why I'm a Part Of It: "As a political science major, a lot of my coursework dealt with global development, which is what initially sparked my interest. After graduating I wanted to get involved in advocacy because I wanted to raise awareness about the many ways in which poverty impacts various populations and was motivated by the potential to help change the circumstances of impoverished people worldwide. I was also very impressed by the organization's humble beginnings- how one college grad saw need for something and actualized his vision into a nationwide campaign that accelerates progress against the world's poor."
