Isabel Garcia
President
Isabel Garcia was born, raised, and educated in Phoenix, Arizona with her parents and four siblings. A first-generation college graduate, Isabel received a Masters in Social Work from Arizona State University. Since 2014, Isabel has been actively involved in community-based, non-profit work in the most marginalized parts of Phoenix. In South Phoenix, she served as Program Director at Unlimited Potential, a family education center dedicated to helping families who suffer indignity reclaim their hope and self-worth, and is a key stakeholder in developing Spaces of Opportunity, one of the largest urban farms in the country creating a hyper-local, sustainable, and just agricultural system. Isabel now serves as Program Director at Poder In Action in Maryvale, a youth and women-of-color led organization that disrupts and dismantles systems of oppression, and builds local power and leaders to determine new, equitable systems that center people first. Isabel is also proud to serve as a governing board member for the Association of Arizona Food Banks, and as a school board member for Academia del Pueblo. Isabel is excited to serve in her beloved Phoenix community, where she works directly with other residents to claim decision-making power over our health, education, and local resources.
