Sandy Mendoza

Families In Schools - Director of Advocacy

​

Ms. Mendoza advocates for underprivileged families whose lives are often overwhelmed by circumstances of peril, poverty, and race. Ms. Mendoza believes all families have a right to see their children grow up healthy, and receive a quality education that prepares them to graduate- college and workforce ready. Ms. Mendoza’s passion for social justice was ignited when as one of thousands of Los Angeles Unified students, she walked out in protest of the treatment by teachers and administrators because of their Mexican heritage.
