Princeton in Latin America, a non-profit organization in the United States that partners with non-profits throughout Latin America to match them with young, public sector professionals seeking full-year fellowships in the field of development. Each year, Princeton in Latin America (PiLA) matches Building Dignity with a talented young professional who joins our team as Program Director
The Omprakash Foundation, a web-based platform that connects grassroots health, education, and environmental projects around the world with volunteers, donors, and classrooms that can learn from and support their work.
