Andrew Holguin
|
Andrew is a social worker, activist, group facilitator, father and husband. Born and raised in North and Northeast Portland his entire life, Andrew has been witness to the gentrification of his community which continues to fuel his work to this day. As a white passing bi-racial, muli-ethnic Latinx man, he has dedicated his career not only to serving youth but to focus on racial equity. As someone that has lost most of his child hood friends to addictions, incarceration, and even death, he believes that one of the most important factors to avoid these unfortunate outcomes is through authentic human connection.
