We are so excited to welcome our new Director of Advocacy and Community Organizing, Jimmy Figueroa here at Chicano Federation. He?is a lifelong San Diego County resident. Born and raised in Oceanside, CA and son of Mexican immigrants, his personal journey has shaped a deep commitment to empowering underserved communities.
For over a decade, Jimmy has been a steadfast advocate for working-class families, neighborhood revitalization, and expanded opportunities for youth. His leadership has been instrumental in securing improved public transit access, mentoring at-risk youth, developing reentry programs for our formerly incarcerated community, strengthening access to higher education, and directing a local homeless shelter—efforts that have directly impacted the well-being of San Diego County residents.
With a background in community development, policy advocacy, non-profit leadership, and social services, Jimmy understands the intersection of public policy and grassroots action.?
