The Pathy Foundation Fellowship provides community-focused experiential learning opportunities for graduating students who want to become effective change-makers by bringing new ideas and working closely with communities to foster sustainable and positive social change in Canada and abroad.
This year, a student from the University of Ottawa has been selected by the Pathy Foundation and has received funding for his project. With these funds, Jamal Koulmiye-Boyce will be able to affect real change in communities that are important to him.
Jamal Koulmiye-Boyce is a fifth-year student majoring in Conflict Studies and Human Rights who has always been passionate about community organizing.
Throughout his studies, Jamal has participated in various volunteer placements, within and outside the University, which have allowed him to witness the impact that a network can have on people.
For him, dealing with issues such as racism and anti-indigeneity can make one feel hopeless and lonely if not properly supported and surrounded.
