About the Executive Director / Founder
Jennifer Law Maitre

I was born and raised in San Diego, California surrounded by extended family which provided wonderful childhood adventures, no dull moments, and a family that remains close today.

My parents raised me to work hard and to constantly examine the people and the situations around me. They also instilled in me a firm belief in the value of volunteering, community service and helping family, friends and neighbors in need. I was very fortunate to have parents who have always presented opportunities for my brother and I to learn, grow and give back. Because of these extracurricular experiences, I quickly discovered a love for teaching.

Always seeking opportunities to nurture and support adolescents by encouraging them to be of service to others, there is nothing that brings me more joy or fulfillment than seeing the light in their eyes when they realize just how powerful they are!

I have had the great fortune in my professional career to have learned from wise and intelligent leaders at UCSD, Facebook, and in my family’s business. By leading the operations for my family’s business, I learned how to motivate people, communicate effectively, and how to establish positive working environments that make productivity and growth possible and sustainable.
