Loyola Undergraduate Earns 2009 YP4 Fellowship in 2009
The Fellowship Office congratulates Sadia Nawab who was awarded a 2009 Young People For (YP4) Fellowship.
YP4 offers a year-long fellowship in leadership development that identifies, engages and empowers the newest generation of progressive leaders to create lasting change in their communities or on campus. Sadia joined about 300 other college students from around the nation to begin her fellowship with a five-day National Summit meeting in Washington, D.C. in February, 2009. At the summit, students met with other young leaders and learned powerful strategies and tactics for creating sustainable social change.
Sadia’s specific project deals with health care reform within the Juvenile Justice System in Chicago. Her main goal is to make sure that disadvantaged youth are getting their hygienic supplies regularly and on time, and to establish HIV screenings and Disease Spread workshops at the prison site. Sadia is an Anthropology major and a strong advocate for proper health care for all youth.
