Zoë Singleton is a recent graduate of The George Washington University, where she pursued a BA in American Studies and is now pursuing a Master of Professional Studies in Political Management as a GW Presidential Fellow. A Newman Civic Fellow and Student Change Maker Coalition Leader, Zoë has centered her academic experience on civic education and community-based problem-solving. Through her work with GW's Nashman Center for Civic Engagement, she led DC middle school students through the Civic Changemakers program — guiding them to map community assets, identify local issues, and design and present real change projects. She also serves as a Community Engaged Scholarship Course Guide, supporting faculty and students across the university in integrating civic and community engagement into academic coursework.

Zoë's commitment to public service extends across branches of government and sectors, including internships with the U.S. House of Representatives and the New York County Supreme Civil Court, and earlier work with the New York Historical Society amplifying underrepresented histories. She recently led a pilot Student Change Agent Coalition entitled "Democracy 2026: Voting & Civic Education" and recently presented to the Campus Compact Board of Directors and at the 2026 Campus Compact Policy and Impact Summit. As Zoë puts it: "Everyone has the potential to create change — they just need the right tools to make it happen."

Jamie Louis Caracas is a rising junior at DePaul University pursuing a BA/JD in Economics with a minor in Community Service Studies, driven by a passion for the intersection of law, economics, and social change. An inaugural member of the Chicago cohort for Campus Compact's Fiscal Leadership Lab — a national program equipping student leaders with fiscal policy knowledge and advocacy skills — Jamie also serves as a Resident Assistant in DePaul's residence halls, where she helps build community and supports students in adjusting to college life. She is also an active member of DePaul's Mock Trial team, Bridge Building Fellowship, and VOTE DePaul.

Jamie recently completed 100 hours as an intern with the 43rd Ward Aldermanic Office in Chicago, where she met with constituents, analyzed ward-wide data, reviewed City Council legislation, and drafted civic recognition materials. That experience deepened her understanding of local government as a daily practice — not just a concept — and strengthened her commitment to youth development and community empowerment.
