As Network Director at the Hungarian Anti Poverty Network, Izabella Marton aims to empower low-income individuals through trainings and community mobilization. Izabella is responsible for partnership building, communications, advocacy, and fundraising.
During her CSP fellowship, Izabella worked for VOCAL New York [7] in Brooklyn assisting in the organization’s efforts to mobilize communities around issues related to social injustice and poverty.
