Katie Terrazas Hoover started her Chinook Fund journey as a cohort member of the Spring 2017 Giving Project, which collectively raised over $86,000-funding 19 Colorado-based grassroots social justice organizations. Following the Giving Project, she remained actively engaged with Chinook Fund, serving as the co-chair of the Giving Project Alumni Community. In her day job, Katie works for Denver Public Schools in Student Voice and Leadership (SVL). As a part of SVL, she gets to work with students and educators across the district with a focus on education justice policy solutions led by youth. She has worked at the intersection of education and social justice in Colorado for almost a decade. Katie holds a bachelors degree in Political Science from Indiana University. Katie is originally from Northwest Indiana, just outside of Chicago. Her experiences growing up in a highly segregated area among working-class families raised many unanswered questions in her youth, but ultimately seeded her commitment to work towards racial and class justice.
