What aspect of your fellowship has been most rewarding?
One of the most rewarding aspects of the Fellowship so far has been our retreat to San Damiano earlier in March. Being part of a large cohort, it can be challenging to find opportunities where everyone can come together in a meaningful way. The retreat provided a rare and valuable chance to step away from our busy schedules and connect on a deeper level. It was not only relaxing to spend time in a peaceful setting with other fellows, but also incredibly insightful. We shared our personal experiences, challenges, and successes in our placements, which helped build a strong sense of community and mutual support. I was also happy to hear about how many of us were going above and beyond our established responsibilities and had initiated our own projects within our placements. It reminded me that while we all work for nonprofits, our individual roles may differ, and we are all united by a shared commitment to service and social impact.
