South San Francisco, CA – April 20, 2011 – Each One Reach One, a non-profit organization that diverts incarcerated youth from a life in prison to become productive community members through mentor-based performing arts and academic tutoring programs, announced today it has hired Brittany N. Jarabek to the position of Assistant Director
Mrs. Jarabek has over 15 years of experience in working with at-risk youth as a mentor, volunteer, teacher, and in non-profit management. Mrs. Jarabek will provide her knowledge and support on fundraising, detention-based programming, grant writing, non-profit management, and working with high-risk youth.
Located in South San Francisco, Each One Reach One provides programming, support and services to the detention facilities and camps in San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara Counties. “Brittany’s extensive knowledge, high regard amongst system stake-holders, compassion for the youth, and experience as Executive Director of City Youth Now is a tremendous addition to Each One Reach One and a valuable resource to our youth,” said Robin Sohnen, Executive Director and Founder of Each One Reach One. Mrs. Jarabek was formerly Executive Director of City Youth Now in San Francisco and a research analyst for the City and County of San Francisco’s Juvenile Probation Department. During her tenure at City Youth Now, she developed her skills in non-profit management and fundraising. Under Mrs. Jarabek’s leadership, detention-based programming was developed, program offerings to youth in both systems were expanded, and the agency’s operating budget significantly increased. While working with the Juvenile Probation Department, Mrs. Jarabek co-facilitated an initiative that offered capacity building workshops to community based organizations who were working under the city-wide Violence Prevention Initiative. The initiative sought to provide training to the community agencies and foster relationships with the Department.
