Conclusion & References
As I reflect on my first year as a Lead Forward Fellow, I am incredibly grateful for the opportunities, knowledge, and expertise this program has brought me. Arts for the Heart, along with the other established (and blooming) projects are incredible social impact initiatives crafted by determined students with a means to change their community. I extend a huge thank you to all of the staff involved in the Lead Forward Program, as well as my partners, Hannah Reyes Charles and Amy Murdock. I am extremely excited to see where Lead Forward takes me in the future.
