MEET OUR TEAM

Mental health has a significant impact on a student’s academic performance, social interactions, and overall well-being, and unfortunately mental health challenges have skyrocketed among children and teenagers. We’re working to raise both the awareness and funds needed to bolster youth mental health supports in our community.

We’re excited for Katie to shift into a new role on the team this month – Program Director – where she’ll manage our existing programs and investments, identify new opportunities, and monitor their impact.

After spending the majority of her career as a project manager in high tech, Ali always felt she was missing opportunities to give back to the community. She knew that she could put her professional leadership, communication and relationship management skills to use at the foundation as our Community Partnerships Manager.

Our Board of Directors plays an important role in our work to empower students, engage the community and help the Boulder Valley School District evolve. Our nominating committee led an effort to identify areas where the Board needed to evolve, and to support this work and further our mission, we’re bringing four new community members onto our Board this month.

Our most recent intern, Kate Snedeker, shares what she learned about teamwork and community outreach while working with us, and what’s next for her!

Our board vice chair, Carly Hare, has made a career of navigating the intersections of philanthropy, identity and equity.

Carlos believes in our mission and the importance of providing every student with the right tools so they can make the most of their education.

Catherine works at the intersection of storytelling, design and project management. She grew up in Louisville and is a BVSD alumna.
