The Gamar Foundation Fellowship supports and mentors young social innovators. In the winter of 2019, our inaugural cohort began working to apply their talents and interests to enhance the public good and improve their communities.
Our Fellows are collaborative, service-driven and filled with optimism and hope. They are dedicated learners who strive to empower others with purpose.
