SSYP Welcomes two new fellows through the College for Social Innovation

SSYP is excited to continue our partnership with the College for Social Innovation (CfSI), an organization that trains college students to be leaders and problem-solvers by matching them with Boston social impact organizations for a semester of on-the-ground experience and college credit. We are thrilled to welcome new CfSI Fellows Marco and JP to our SSYP team for the spring 2021 semester. Check out their introductions below!

My name is JP, and this semester I am lucky enough to have an internship working for SSYP. I am currently a junior studying English: Digital Studies at the University of New Hampshire. I am from New Hampshire and excited to work and spend the next few months with the folks at SSYP and live in Boston. At SSYP, I will be running the social media platforms to develop better connections between our organization and the community, and I am thrilled to get started! 

Hello! 

My name is Marco Cepeda and it’s great to be here. I am currently a senior at the University of Vermont (UVM) and I’m a Music Performance major (cello) with a minor in Communications! Aside from playing cello, hobbies I enjoy include running, cooking, playing tennis, writing letters, and reading. At SSYP, my role is to create fun curricula to help kids build skills through play. Specifically, I look forward to leading the Skillz Lab and teaching young people music. Thank you to SSYP for having me and for all the support they continue to give me! I feel so loved.
