About the Initiative

The Karabelle Pizzigati Initiative in Advocacy for Children, Youth and Families builds a pipeline of informed, effective advocates to ensure all children are healthy, safe, learning and joyful.

The late Karabelle Pizzigati spent her career empowering champions with the policy skills to make a lasting positive impact for children. In her name, the Karabelle Pizzigati Initiative Fellowship inspires students to pursue careers in children's advocacy. Through this experience, students gain experience and insight into the field by working in organizations who make a real difference in the lives of children.

The Karabelle Pizzigati Initiative Fellowship

The School of Public Health and the School of Public Policy partner annually to name students as Karabelle Pizzigati fellows. These students have a commitment to a career in children's advocacy. In addition to required coursework, fellows will participate in in a 10-week paid internship with recognized experts. In addition to the internship, students will be coached and mentored, preparing them to enter a career in children's advocacy.
