Angel worked and attended events to interact directly with the public and her target population to raise awareness of No More Martyrs’ mission. She then served as a clinical intern for No More Martyrs to provide free counseling services to the local community and people throughout the state of Alabama. Angel plans to continue her service with Nor More Martyrs after her fellowship year.                  

As a result of the program:

• 9-10 clients signed up for counseling services
• A $30,000 donation was received on March 1 which helps continue free counseling services 
• 10-11 clients were provided with free counseling services 
• Over 100 hours of free counseling services were provided

“As a result of my participation in the Schweitzer Fellowship, I have learned that creating and implementing a community service project is not easy and things will not always go as planned, but the reward has been greater than the risk. This has helped me to learn that I do have a voice and should never be afraid to use it to create and inspire change. In turn, my participation has impacted me in that the fellowship led into other significant roles in my life, ones that I feel proud of each and every day because I get to serve a community where I feel a strong connection and passion.”
