Meet the Team — Community Coordinator
Amber Sosa (she/her) is a graduate of the University of Washington with a Master of Social Work degree specializing in children, youth, and families. We are thrilled to welcome her to the team as our Community Coordinator!
For the past ten years, Amber has worked in the nonprofit sector, supporting families experiencing poverty and youth currently or formerly in the foster care system. In 2018, Amber served as a congressional intern with the Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, where she wrote and delivered a policy report to Members of Congress and White House staff, highlighting the importance of early trauma screenings and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) prevention efforts. Amber currently serves as a board member of the Community Resilience Initiative (CRI).
In September 2024, we excitedly welcomed Amber as a vital addition to our staff team, formerly comprised only of our Founders. In her role as Community Coordinator, Amber is responsible for managing fundraising events, engaging community partners, and increasing philanthropic support. These efforts are to achieve our goal of serving 100 youth annually by 2030.
In her free time, Amber enjoys rooting on the UW Huskies, spending time with her corgi, drinking coffee, and camping with her husband and three-year-old son.
