Bio

Hi! I'm Sally and I've worked with Youth Venture in New York since 2006, first as an AmeriCorps VISTA, then as the manager of the Teen Second Life project (http://genv.net/en-us/region/didi), and am currently helping out the New York team part-time.

Before joining Youth Venture, I spent eight months volunteering in Uganda working with a local NGO. After returning to the US, I founded Hope for Ugandan Students (HUGS), a nonprofit that raises support for grassroots youth empowerment and community development initiatives in Uganda. So far we've raised over $90,000 and sponsored more than 100 Ugandan youth to attend vocational school.

I love hearing about your Venture ideas, plans, and accomplishments, so don't hesitate to get in touch with me!

Hi Sally!
Well it was mentioned in my presentation =p -just pulling your leg. That's cool that you know of SAGE... in interest of marketing and development, how did you hear about SAGE? Does your VISTA job allow some mentoring time? I believe we have a couple New York teams you may want to mentor if that's your thing.

Thanks again for all your help!
