Sarah Benjamin

Vice President

After working in youth development and education in San Francisco for more than ten years, Sarah received her Master’s in Public Policy from UC Berkeley in 2013. For her thesis project, Sarah developed a replication and expansion strategy for Generation Citizen, an organization focused on transforming high school civics education into an experience in activism utilizing peer coaches from local universities. She then worked as a dental health policy associate at a children's advocacy organization called Children Now, helping to lead a medical-dental pilot program in community health centers in the Los Angeles area. This program aimed to increase preventive dental health care uptake among Medicaid-insured children receiving primary care visits at these health centers. Since 2017, Sarah has lived in the Los Angeles area with her husband and daughter.
