Katelyn Gan’s E-Waste Service Project Earns Dragon Kim Fellowship
Katelyn Gan ‘25 was recently named a 2022 Dragon Fellow by the Dragon Kim Foundation, an entrepreneurship incubator that supports high school students.
The Fellowship includes three weekends of leadership training, hands-on guidance from mentors, and a $5,000 grant. The grant is intended to help Katelyn continue to implement her 1 Million Batteries project in the community this summer.
The 1 Million Batteries campaign was started by Teens Against E-waste (TAE), a student-run nonprofit that aims to raise awareness of the issue of e-waste – Katelyn serves on the international executive team as the Vice President.
The goal of the 1 Million Batteries campaign is to collect and recycle used batteries. The project encourages people to properly dispose of batteries and disposal bins are set up around the community to collect the goal of one million batteries.
”We congratulate Katelyn and sincerely thank all of the students who took their time to submit their wonderfully creative entries to the 2022 Dragon Kim Fellowship Program,” said Dragon Kim Foundation Board Chairman Daniel Kim.
