Several of our Fellows are completing their time in this program that engages a group of our younger members as Girlfriends. Thank you to Rebecca Goldcrump and Van Pham for your contributions over the last three years; to Kathleen Porcello and Ana Rau for two years with us; and to April Jay Unterberger, completing her first year and welcoming her first baby.

Speaking about the value of their experience, Kathleen said: “Being a Fellow at ninety-nine girlfriends has been an incredible experience. Over the past two years, I’ve met and volunteered with so many smart, kind, and talented women, while learning so much about trust-based philanthropy and the local nonprofit community. This year, I am graduating from the Fellows program, and will take a break from ninety-nine girlfriends to focus on some personal pursuits. Thank you to my mentors, fellow Fellows, and everyone at ninety-nine girlfriends for co-creating and leading this incredible community!”

The Fellows program engages a group of our younger members – aged 20 to 35 – and many of them have had big changes in their lives this year. We wish everyone well!
