MEET THE
PATHWAYS FOR PEACE FELLOWS
Previously known as the Carl Wilkens Fellows, these community leaders have acquired the skills necessary to bridge the gap between thought and action in the anti-genocide movement. The Fellowship was named in honor of Carl Wilkens, a self-described “ordinary” man, and only one of two Americans who chose to remain in Rwanda during the 1994 genocide. Mr. Wilkens is credited with saving hundreds of lives and is emblematic of the program’s theme: ordinary individuals can make an extraordinary difference when they choose to engage. Now renamed as part of the Pathways for Peace Collaborative, a program of iACT, these fellows continue to build and strengthen community-based action and sustained political will to change the way the world responds to genocide and mass atrocities.
