Meet Our New Youth Fellows!

The Alliance for Girls* Youth Fellows program is a key component of our model -  we are a youth-led organization, where young women and gender-expansive youth are in the driver’s seat of effecting the change they want to see in the world. Our Youth Fellow alumni have gone on to be change-makers in their communities. 

After an exciting and productive summer, the AFG team couldn’t be more thrilled to announce two fellows that will be joining us for the next year!

Liz Alvarado is our newest incoming Operations Fellow. We are thrilled to have her on board, representing the vibrant city of Los Angeles, CA, and are eager to embark on this journey of empowerment, support, and growth together. 

She moved to Los Angeles mid 2021 to become a full-time caregiver of her mom and encountered the challenges caregivers and disabled individuals have to face as a daily basis, while also adapting to a new region.

Her experience motivated her to look for an opportunity to create a positive change in the community and has served as a fellow for Caring Across Generations and her experience and dedication to empowering caregivers, disabled individuals, and those involved in caregiving have already demonstrated her commitment to making a meaningful impact in the Los Angeles community.

In her role as Operations Fellow, she will be reporting to the Director of Finance and Administration who is equally excited to work alongside her in advancing AFG's mission and goals. Liz's role will be pivotal in shaping the development of operations and support for AFG. 

To reach Liz, email her at liz@alliance4girls.org. 

Kennedy Foye will join us for a second year as AFG's Senior Membership Fellow. In her capacity, Kennedy adopts a youth-led approach to shaping membership services tailored specifically to the needs of young individuals. Her primary goal is to engage more youth through advocacy, collaborations, workshops, and leadership training.

Kennedy is passionate about yoga, nature, entrepreneurship, and spending time with her family. Alongside her commitment to her work at AFG, she is also a yoga instructor and aspires to stay within the nonprofit sector for her future endeavors.

To reach Kennedy, email her at kennedy@alliance4girls.org. 

Welcome Liz and Kennedy!
