Announcing the 2011 Fellowship Finalists
Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2011-03-29 11:50
We are excited to announce the forty bold 2011 Echoing Green Fellowship Finalists (representing twenty-seven organizations), from nine countries.
The entire Echoing Green team and our 387 evaluators remain deeply inspired by the 2,854 applications we received this year, and we thank each of you for your aspirations and big visions.
This year’s Finalists are building cars for the poor in Kenya, protecting children in India with the power of Bollywood songs, and working with families to reform the juvenile justice system in the United States. This May they will travel to New York City where they’ll meet panels of expert judges over an intensive three day interview process.
Help us celebrate these promising leaders of social change by congratulating the Finalists onTwitter and Facebook!
