Kevin Killer used his 2006 Young People For (YP4) fellowship to educate people on his reservation about a ballot initiative that would have banned civil unions.
Coming from an area with 70 to 80 percent unemployment, he's now a trainer with Campus Camp Wellstone and has been elected President of the YP4 Network.

YP4 Staff Member
Hello, hello. I'm YP4's communications manager; everyone calls me Fureigh. I joined Young People For after an extended Messenger-Anderson Communications Fellowship at the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, where I launched a podcast series about lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender elders and experts. I graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Reed College with a degree in sociology. While at Reed, I served on the Honor Council and as co-leader of the Queer Alliance, hosted a weekly radio show on campus, produced the evening news at KBOO Community Radio, interned at KQED public radio and engaged in anti-oppression work. In 2004, I co-created ResourcesPDX.org, a health resource guide for transgender people in the Portland, Ore., metropolitan area.
