Sonia P. Lopez

Vice President & Director of External Relations

I oversee our efforts in fundraising, community impact, communications, and community partnerships. I have worked in the nonprofit sector for over 20 years for organizations that provide services to at-risk youth, families in high-conflict divorces, and individuals experiencing homelessness. I enjoy yoga, kayaking, hiking, rock climbing, and spending time with my two kids. I have a B.A. in Communications and my graduate studies were focused on Nonprofit Management and Philanthropy. Growing up in a rural, under-resourced community, I remember the tremendous impact nonprofits made and the genuine value of neighbor helping neighbor. I was profoundly inspired and my service is undoubtedly shaped by this.  In my role, I help grow our organization’s capacity by cultivating resources and stewarding relationships – connecting those wanting to help to those needing help in our community.
