JOEL LOPEZ

GRANTS MANAGER

Joel learned about social justice from a very young age. His father, a lawyer and social fighter from Tampico, always told him about the times when he worked along with others to improve the lifestyle of people in his hometown. Those stories made him understand that all humans deserve the same rights, and that's what we should always stand for.

This interest persisted until Joel grew up. Although his major is not related to law, he understands the need for an equal society where everybody has the same opportunities. He has experience volunteering for non-profits of different kinds in Mexico and the United Kingdom, participating as a project analyst and treasurer. Now, working at Social Justice Collaborative, he has the opportunity to help others in a similar way his father did.
