“To me, Surge represents a powerful opportunity to be part of a community of dedicated changemakers, people who are not only passionate about creating impact but actively doing the work to make it happen. I am drawn to Surge because it offers a space to learn, collaborate, and grow alongside others who challenge themselves and each other to drive meaningful change. Personally, I sometimes feel confused or unsure of my next steps, and I don’t want to lose my spark. I want to surround myself with a community that uplifts, challenges, and inspires me to stay motivated and focused. Now feels like the right time to deepen my commitment to making a difference, refine my leadership skills, and contribute to initiatives with tangible impact. As a Surge Fellow, I hope to grow, gain clarity, and translate ideas into action while supported by peers who push me to lead with purpose.”
