“Surge represents the transformative experience I need at this stage in my leadership journey. I am seeking a community that will help me operate in my authenticity and unlock the power to lead boldly for the young people I serve. As an emerging leader stepping into my full identity, I am ready to be challenged, stretched, and supported in ways that allow me to dream without limits and lead without doubt. The promise of a fellowship that engages the mind, heart, and hands speaks deeply to the kind of holistic growth I need—one that transcends professional development and nurtures the human experience behind the work. Through Surge, I hope to refine my leadership voice, strengthen my capacity for impact, and embody the freedom and confidence necessary to create equitable spaces where others can also rise into their purpose.”
