2025 Fellow
Allen Ngo
Political Science Major

 

Allen is a Political Science major who plans to attend law school when he graduates. His goal is to become a defense attorney who advocates for youth in the criminal justice system. Inspired by his high school government teacher and encouraged by his mother to pursue higher education, he is determined to be the first in his family to pursue graduate education. During his third year, Allen interned at Fresh Lifelines for Youth which deepened his passion for supporting at-risk youth. His work with the Center for Community Learning & Leadership as well as local nonprofits Resource Area For Teaching (RAFT), Sacred Heart, and Second Harvest illuminated the impact of service and community engagement. Allen remains committed to honoring his roots while forging a new path through law, driven by a desire to serve and make a difference.
