Board Member Highlight<\/strong><\/h3>\n

\"\"Kenji Treanor<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

黑料福利社 Board of Directors Service: July 2017\u2013present<\/p>\n

Kenji is a dedicated, passionate nonprofit and philanthropy professional with more than 15 years\u2019 experience in the sector. He currently serves as Director of Strategy, Effectiveness and Learning for the Stuart Foundation, based in San Francisco, which focuses on education and benefits young people across California and in Washington state. He previously worked as a grantmaker at Sobrato Philanthropies and at the James Irvine Foundation, as well as in fundraising and program delivery roles at educational and nonprofit organizations in the Bay Area. He holds a B.A. from UC Santa Cruz and an MPA from the University of San Francisco.\u00a0After graduating from UC Santa Cruz, Kenji spent a year in Japan as a middle school English teacher in a farming village in Tottori prefecture.<\/p>\n

Kenji was born and raised in Marin County. As a kid he played saxophone in school bands and jazz bands. He\u2019s currently trying to learn guitar and ukulele. Kenji is extremely healthy \u2013 he doesn\u2019t eat or drink caffeine, refined sugar, dairy, or alcohol. However, he has a weakness for barbecued meats! He is also passionate about cars, especially customized vintage American rides.<\/p>\n

Growing up as a young man of color, Kenji found it difficult to find resources and people to connect with in a way that fit his identity and culture. As a result, he co-founded\u00a0Next Generation Scholars<\/a> in San Rafael as a volunteer board member in his mid-20’s. The value of fiscal sponsorship was made clear during this time as Next Generation Scholars relied upon a fiscal sponsor to get the organization launched and running for a few years!<\/p>\n
