GYPA Founder Jeremy Goldberg (Archer Fellowship Program Alum '02) spoke at the University of Texas System Offices in Washington, DC on March 5, 2006. Jeremy met with current Archer Fellows attending Dr. John Daly's "Advocacy in Applied Settings" course.

Jeremy discussed the progression of his work in Africa which was conceived in 2002 and developed in Uganda by 2003 and the current opportunities for volunteer, internship and delegation travel to Africa through the Global Youth Partnership for Africa.

A number of the many impressive Archer Fellows expressed their interest to get involved in GYPA. "I truly appreciate and thank Dr. Daly for opening his classroom to a discussion about American Youth working with their counterparts in Africa," Jeremy said, "It is important that Archer Alumni and Archer Fellows continue to work together and continue to cultivate relationships between one another. The Archer program made a great impact on my life through the Washington, DC experience and I will continue to be a contact for current fellows."

The Bill Archer Fellowship Program (www.archercenter.org) was established by The University of Texas System in conjunction with Former U.S. Representative Bill Archer as a way to bring highly motivated and accomplished students to Washington, D.C. to participate in varied internships and take part in classes focusing on policy, economics, and persuasion.
