Policy Coordinator

Jan 2022 - Present
Sarah joined the YI family in 2020 as part of the Rocky Mountain Young Advocates Program. She became a Policy Fellow in 2021, managing YI’s Healthcare and Higher Education portfolios. After graduating with her Master’s in Public Administration with a concentration in Gender-based Violence in December 2021 she moved into the full-time position of Policy Coordinator. Sarah shared more about her journey from participating in YAP to joining us as a full-time staff member: "When I started the Young Advocates program, I never could have imagined to have found a professional home as phenomenal as Young Invincibles. My time as an Advocate showed me just how much power young adults have, and how we can leverage it to transform our society.” Show less
