Jazmin Posas
Program Manager
Jazmin Posas joined Housing California in January 2018. Prior to Housing California, she worked as a Program Coordinator for Student Action with Farmworkers, as a Program Associate at CaliforniaVolunteers, and as an application counselor for the Marketplace Exchange.
As a Program Associate for CaliforniaVolunteers, Jazmin oversaw a portfolio of AmeriCorps grants and worked with programs across the state to provide technical assistance on AmeriCorps grant compliance and policies. At Student Action with Farmworkers (based in Durham, North Carolina), she coordinated an internship and a fellowship program, organizing and training students from across the country to engage in the farmworker justice movement of the southeast. She conducted community outreach to raise awareness of issues related to farmworkers and garner support for organizational programs. While in North Carolina, she worked in Raleigh and surrounding rural communities providing education on access and utilization of the Affordable Care Act to residents of low-income communities and H2A visa recipients.
Upon returning to California, Jazmin got involved with campaigns such as Make it Fair (now the California Schools and Local Communities Funding Act), and organized residents to become civically engaged in local government.
Jazmin graduated from California State University of Sacramento with a B.A. in History and received a certificate in Nonprofit Management from Duke University’s Continuing Education program. She is currently a fellow in the Women’s Policy Institute, creating policy to advance gender and economic justice through the Economic Justice team.
