Empowering Refugees: Interview with Kjerstin Erickson of FORGE

Have Fun - Do Good

Kjerstin Erickson is one of those people "shiny" people who lights up a room. Erickson founded FORGE (Facilitating Opportunities for Refugee Growth and Empowerment) in 2003 when she was a 20 year-old junior studying public policy at Stanford University. We like to refer to it as a "people-powered" development process.
