We are so blown away by the brilliant people who have joined our network in the last few weeks, including some amazing new Alliance Board Members.
Check them out!
Alliance for Youth Organizing Board
Whitney Porter
Operations & Finance Consultant
Whitney Porter brings a wealth of operations, finance, event planning, and strategic thinking to the Alliance board. Whitney believes “that change can only happen when everyday, ordinary people speak up and ask for life to be better. This can’t happen if people’s voices are suppressed.” We couldn’t agree more.
Alexis Anderson-Reed
Executive Director, State Voices
Alexis Anderson-Reed is no stranger to youth organizing. Hailing from Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Alexis founded Youth Reclaiming Our Communities. She shared “I have seen first hand both the individual transformation of young people when they are meaningfully engaged and invested in, and the collective impact that young people can have when they come together to change their community.” We can’t wait to build alongside Alexis!
Alliance for Youth Action Board
Jonathan Paik
Executive Director, Orange County Civic Engagement Table
A Politcorp Fellow at the Oregon Bus Project and the second staffer ever at the Alliance, Jonathan Paik is OG Alliance family. JP has a background in finance, operations, and issue-based community organizing. JP envisions the Alliance as “the bridge to brings members from across the country to work together for the radical transformation that we’re looking for.” We are so glad to have JP back at the Alliance as a guiding force in the coming years.
