Skye Cronje

Neurodivergent Advocate :: April 2025

You are just the sort of person the Sullivan Ballou Fund seeks to recognize and affirm. A fundamental tenet of the Sullivan Ballou Fund is that the best things happen through heart energy—people acting out of the love in their hearts, not a personal agenda. We have heard from your mentors at the Human Rights Program and in Americorps how you express this heart energy. You are self-motivated. You blend tireless and effective advocacy for farmworkers, immigrants, the environment, and other causes with the desire to connect with those you serve. You are described as curious and good-hearted.

Your experience as a neurodivergent person and willingness to share your story is another heartfelt gift you give to others.

We hope this award confirms for you that you are a special person with great gifts to offer others. We know that you will have a rich and productive career helping people.

Congratulations!
Elissa and Bruce Peterson, Founding Members
