Reed (he/him) is originally from Washington, D.C., but has lived and considered Colorado home for eight years. By day, he is a Social Studies teacher at a Denver Public High School and enjoys working with students to understand the past and its connections to the present. By evening, weekends and Summers, he enjoys intramural sports, meals with friends on the porch and walks around City Park.
Reed first learned about the Chinook Fund as a student at Colorado College and later participated in the Fall 2023 Giving Project. As a young person who was raised in the owning class, he believes it’s necessary to organize and invite more wealthy and upper-class people into cross-class organizing efforts. He likes to geek out on all things related to basketball, education policy, and projects that are community-led, like Chinook Fund.
