Testimonial

SAF changed my entire career path from an academic focus to one of advocacy in the fields of public health and social work. The experience introduced me to new strategies of working and community building, taught me how to be an activist and leader of change, trained me in flexibility and adaptability, and provided me with a solid grounding in social justice and issues of equity.
