Los Angeles County impact presentations

This week our five Los Angeles County Fellows presented their progress on innovation projects at the intersection of child welfare and mental health to a gathering of 100 county officials, philanthropic leaders, and community partners.

The presentation also included remarks from Department of Mental Health Director Dr. Jonathan Sherin, Casey Family Programs Senior Director Virgina Pryor, Parsons Foundation President & CEO Wendy Garen, and UCLA Pritzker Family Chair Tyrone Howard. We are thrilled to be part of this illustrious group of change-makers in Los Angeles County.

Kudos to our Los Angeles County fellows for their ongoing impact: John Drebinger III, Rebecca Kaplan, Andrea Lowe, Jermeen Sherman, and Sonya Soni.
