TESTIMONIES
Hear from Former Fellows
Being a part of the Idol Family Fellowship granted me the opportunity to explore my career interests before diving into law school preparation. Because of this program I have gained a new appreciation for social work and found an organization that I strongly believe in and would love to return to. I’ve always known I wanted to work with immigrant populations but thanks to Idol’s funding and support, I have narrowed that interest and found countless other internship and job opportunities for the future!

The Idol Fellowship uniquely allowed me to pursue an internship that was fun, engaging, and fulfilling. It also offered me the community and tools to hone my professional skills and ensured that I spent my summer making a tangible impact at a place that helped me grow. I left the fellowship feeling prepared and excited to take the next step—or leap—in my career.

I left the fellowship with a renewed sense of confidence about taking the first step after college.

The Idol Family Fellowship allowed me to accept an internship I never would have had the opportunity to do before. It provided a space for me to pursue my passions, and for that, I will be forever grateful. Because of this opportunity, I have become more prepared to succeed in my journey through law school as well as in my professional career. Thank you to The CALL!

The Idol Family Fellowship gave me the opportunity to work comfortably in my internship, an opportunity that I would not have easily acquired. In addition to this, the workshops during the summer gave me the tools necessary to work professionally in the future. Another benefit of the fellowship was the sense of community I developed with the other fellows.
