Meet the Team – Program Assistant Manu
Manu Warraich joined as a Volunteer Coordinator in 2024 through the AmeriCorps California Foster Youth Initiative. Unfortunately, that AmeriCorps program was eliminated as part of the federal DOGE cuts in April 2025. Rather than leave this great work, Manu began serving as a contractor to remain involved and to assist with overall program operations, including recruiting volunteer mentors and supporting mentors in unique ways so they can be most effective for the youth we serve.
Manu’s prior experience includes supporting HR and Recruitment teams in industries such as 3D printing, biotech, and gaming. Manu enjoys giving back and was also a mentor to a youth through a different organization. She holds a B.S. in Business Administration, Human Resource Management from San Jose State University.
In her role with Aging UP, Manu is especially passionate about recruiting genuine people to be matched with youth who have foster care experience. She lives in Sacramento. When not working, Manu enjoys spending time with her dog, getting brunch, watching movies and trying new things! Manu loves Fall and the festivities of the holiday season. We are thrilled to have her on our team!
