Meet Kahmarii
I have been in OFA since its’ launch in 2019. I was introduced to the world of workforce development and youth engagement through OFA where I was able to start off teaching youth about Criminal Justice under the mentorship of the Public Defender’s office.
I continued with OFA throughout college and my early career, and earned my B.A in Criminal Justice with a Minor in Africanas studies, as a first-generation college student at San Francisco State University.
Through being with Opportunities For All I have been exposed to various job opportunities and developed leadership roles in my community, such as my work with OUSD and Charter Schools in Vallejo supporting students of color in their education, helping curriculum become more culturally competent and accessible for all.
Khamarii has recently joined the SF Human Rights Commission and Opportunities For All team!
Meet Marcus
My summer as an intern has been a lot of fun and I have been exposed to a lot of new experiences, opportunities, and people. I have been able to explore different career paths every Thursday at the OFA Mentor Series and I have enjoyed learning new skills like photography and landscaping at Ella Hill Hutch Community Center where I am placed as an intern in the Community Development Cohort. Every day I look forward to going to my internship because I know I am making a difference in my Fillmore community.
Marcus is a resident of the San Francisco Western Addition and an SFUSD student
