About me
Malea is the Policy and Advocacy Coordinator for School's Out Washington and supports SOWA's work in building a more equitable and sustainable youth development sector in Washington through increasing visibility for and investment in the youth development sector. Prior to joining SOWA, Malea worked as a union organizer where she supported the leadership and political power-building of workers in Snohomish, Skagit, Island, and Whatcom County. She is inspired by the stories and impact that come from investing in youth development and is eager to work with SOWA’s community partners to continue that work in Washington.
