Edward Sanchez
Hello, my name is Edward Sanchez. I am a rising freshman from Baruch College. I’ve been a Youth Action member with CCC since I was a freshman and am a huge advocate for educational equity and opportunities for young people. I’ve been to Albany several times advocating for Foundation Aid, and have been involved in city campaigns around school diversity, SYEP, and after-school programs. In addition, I worked with YVote as a student activist and helped facilitate workshops. I’ve also joined with a group of youth from across New York State to launch the Fund(ED) New York Campaign, which is calling on the Governor to expand education funding to promote equity across the state in which the School Foundation Aid was finally implemented in the state budget! Most recently, I worked with CCC in gathering information and analyzing from our youth survey to help develop the youth agenda! I worked with multiple organizations in creating the Mayoral Youth Town Hall event! It helped raise awareness and spread the message of the Youth Agenda and the priorities our future NYC Mayor needs to focus on for the youth with We the Youth Advisory Council!
