Andrea Mejia was born in the City and raised in the City and East Oakland, as the daughter of immigrant parents from Central America. As Coleman’s YMAC Lead Organizer, Andrea brings her personal experience of school pushout and the school-to-prison pipeline, which helps her understand and further serve San Francisco’s most impacted youth. Raised by a grandmother who always taught her to stand up against injustices, and now as a mother herself, Andrea is teaching her son to advocate for himself and his community.
