With the foundation established and the first cohort of fellows underway, James and Emily focused on nurturing the growth and impact of their initiatives. They knew that success would require more than just financial support; it would also require mentorship, guidance, and a strong network of partners and allies.
They began by convening regular meetings with the fellows, providing them with opportunities to share progress updates, seek advice, and collaborate on shared challenges. These gatherings quickly became a highlight for the fellows, who valued the chance to connect with their peers and learn from one another's experiences.
