Nayeli Sedano
Mayfair Coordinator
Nayeli Sedano was first introduced to SOMOS when she started attending the FIRST 5 parenting workshops, and quickly became interested in how the facilitators bridged relationships between individuals and the community as a whole. After attending more programs, she soon became a Facilitator herself through our Promotores program and shared resources with those around her. We're proud to have her now join our staff as a Coordinator, and can't wait to see how she helps this pipeline grow for other local leaders.
