He formerly worked for the quality educational institutions of Benjamin Banneker Charter Academy of Technology and Kansas City Neighborhood Academy (as a founding staff member). Jorge has sponsored many activities that provided students with opportunities that were not always accessible. Recently, he obtained his Masters in Educational Leadership K-12 at NWMSU. While attending online, Jorge was able to navigate the closing of Kansas City Neighborhood Academy, learn from various educational leaders in the KC area, and became a Surge Fellow, as well as becoming an Impact Manager with City Year KC. Using skills he has learned over the last decade, he empowers young people whether they are current or past students to find their voice and ownership within their education.

As you see his life has been dedicated to people and improvement through the various organizations that he has decided to work for, be an affiliate of, and a member of.

Focusing on:

Educational Prosperity: Fighting for adequate funding for school systems, adequate pay for educators, and equitable accountability so that students attend schools proven to educate.

Economic Progress: Increasing support to small businesses with education, development, and practices that’ll ensure prosperity and work for our people. Continued support of job market growth and working to make it affordable to pay livable wages.

Civic Relationships: Systemic reform that respects’ citizens unconditionally. Increase usage of restorative justice and not solely reliant on the prison industrial complex. The review & request for transparency for publicly funded organizations and institutions.

Equality is the bare minimum as we work together we will be able to surpass equitable treatment to liberation and restorative justice no matter race, gender, religion, identity, class, or creed. “Thank you, it is the people that make the difference.”- #FullerForThePeople
