Kevin Killer used his 2006 Young People For (YP4) fellowship to educate people on his reservation about a ballot initiative that would have banned civil unions.
Coming from an area with 70 to 80 percent unemployment, he's now a trainer with Campus Camp Wellstone and has been elected President of the YP4 Network.

Our yearlong fellowship program for college students starts with an all-expenses-paid National Summit in Washington, D.C., and provides organizational and financial support for executing meaningful social justice work.

Upcoming Events
May 8-9, 2008: A Better Deal Conference
May 10, 2008: Michigan Policy Summit 2008
It's time to put this generation's economic crisis on the national agenda and build a movement for a better deal.
The A Better Deal conference is not just about ideas — it's about action. Hundreds of young activists will get the tools to connect politics to the personal financial struggles of young voters, and get hooked up with others to build a movement for a better deal in their communities.
The conference is FREE and limited travel scholarships are available.
The Leadership Academy beckons.
Are you a young progressive who is or wants to be working in the movement? The Leadership Academy can help set you up for a lifetime of success.
For 10 months you’ll get leadership development retreats, mentorship from an established movement leader in your area, one-on-one coaching, networking opportunities, support to attend conferences and more. You can even apply for a paid fellowship. Though YP4 fellows are given first priority, anyone can apply.
