Apologies for the mix-up from my previous email. It should be the *Mentorship Project* instead of the Fellowship Project. I believe Mili is already spearheading the Fellowship Project; although if she needs a co-chair, I'm happy to take that position as well. I served as the advisor for the Youth IGF Asia Pacific this year and as a NetMission alumna, have been advising the current ambassadors and program structure over the years. I'm currently serving as a mentor for the Digital Grassroots Project. Hoping to inspire more young people into IG and make our voices stronger should I be given the chance to lead this project.

Hello,
I'm resending this email as there were a few technical problems yesterday that my previous email didn't go through as I used an email not subscribed to the list and ended up forwarding the email.
I'd like to nominate myself as chairperson of Youth4IG's fellowship. I've been involved in the IG space/community for about 6 years now and have experienced fellowships myself and been to some of the major IG conferences and events. My efforts in paving the way for more youth representation has been recognized by the MAG itself and other publications.
I think that my experience would definitely be helpful in leading the fellowship program of Youth4IG. That said, I'm also open to serving as a co-chair instead (and if needed) as I originally mentioned if anyone would like to take the chairperson position other than myself.
