I am Lupita Rodriguez and I am the Director of Impact and Evaluation

I was able to Launch a Strong Start when we co-designed the Peers Helping Peers curriculum alongside the UCD Davis Chicanx Department's Dr. Monica Torreiro-Casal and the community participants in 2020. That curriculum continued to evolve depending on community needs and since October 2020 we have worked with over 200 community members throughout the region. Many of these community members had a refreshed start to community work, to new employment, to leadership roles, and to a sense of confidence in their purpose.

I feel lucky to do work that touches people and has an impact in people's life. It's not easy, but it is totally worth it.
