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.

Baylor University
2008 Fellow
Jade is secretary of the Baylor Democrats and is interested in stimulating outside-of-the-box thought and tolerance at her traditionally conservative Southern Baptist university. She wants to help acquire legal rights for and official acceptance of the school's (and country's) LGBT and non-religious communities. She believes it is the responsibility of young people today to facilitate change and inform others that change is possible.
