With the success of the HanVoice Pioneers Project (HPP) as a pilot program, we are excited to announce the project is returning for its second year!

The first program of its kind, the HanVoice Pioneers Project will empower North Korean refugees by giving them the fundamental training they need to become leaders in advocacy and harness their own voice for change, by building capacity in advocacy, communications, English language, and grassroots organizing skills.

Please join us in celebrating the launch of this year's HanVoice Pioneers Project to:

- Get informed about issues surrounding North Korea

- Learn about the program

- Discover who this year's selected candidate is

- Find out how you can help!
