Alvaro Venegas, affectionately known as Coach Al, has been cultivating hope in his community since 2007. He began by founding a health and wellness organization that provides inspirational training and personal development to students in schools, teachers, families, and military personnel. He continued to explore methods of serving through public speaking and writing and has since partnered with many educators and community leaders to impact hundreds of schools throughout California. Now serving on the Washington Unified School District School Board, he is looking forward to continuing his mission of elevating those who serve in an effort to contribute to a positive and unified culture in this loving community he calls home.
