Jones has served as the executive director of Global Kids, an organization that works to ensure that all youth in New York City have the opportunities that
provide them with a path forward to success. Before joining this team, she worked for the Administration for Children’s Services, starting as the Development Director doing fundraising for private sector foundation investment and later taking on the role of Assistant Commissioner for the Office of Youth Development at ACS.
“We’re embedded in about 24 New York City public schools where we serve as either a community school provider or an after-school provider; sometimes those kinds of labels kind of mesh together because we’re all a service of the interest of the students in those schools and we work in partnership with school leadership in the community to make sure our young people have what they need,” said Jones.
“As a community school provider, we really working to address education equity and to make sure that young people have what they need to be able to get to school, to be successful in school and to have a really bright post-secondary future,” said Jones. “Global Kids has a mission of helping young people advocate for themselves and their community. I go back to my early beginnings as a teenager wanting to know a lot about the world and wanting to be an advocate around social justice issues.
