The Valerie Zukin Memorial Fellowship was created to honor Valerie’s deep commitment to justice and her passion for nurturing new immigration advocates. Each fellow carries forward her legacy through hands-on work that supports and uplifts immigrant communities.

Below are reflections from fellows placed at ILD and partner organizations through this fellowship. We invite you to read their stories and support future advocates who carry Valerie’s legacy forward. To respect and protect the privacy of participants, their reflections are shared anonymously.
