Thank You
At Project Fearless we know we are not the first team to work on lifting up those around us and we certainly hope we aren’t the last!
We would not be where we are today if it weren’t for these incredible pioneers who all played a part in the inspiration behind Project Fearless.
Not in Amsterdam? Check out these other impact makers creating empowerment opportunities across the globe.
Please note, we are not affiliated with these programs, just beyond thankful they exist.
