Our Team
School's Out Washington is made up of incredible individuals working as a team to bring about positive change through systems-level youth development. (Please note: For the safety of—and with guidance from—our transgender, non-binary, and gender diverse staff members, we have removed pronouns from our team page and staff bios. We understand the importance of visibility and representation; however, with the current administration’s attacks on trans communities and attempted erasure of non-binary people, we have decided to remove these public facing identifiers and allow our staff to share their pronouns when, if, and how they want to.)
