Stephen Salinas

Program Director, City Year Los Angeles

Stephen Figueroa Salinas is a Program Director for City Year Los Angeles where he oversees five school partnerships where 75 corps members serve to provide in-class tutoring, one-on-one support, and run before and after-school programs to keep students on-track to graduate high school.

Prior to City Year, Stephen graduated from Loyola Marymount University with a B.S. in Economics with minors in Mathematics and Philosophy. As a first generation Mexican-American, he came to City Year to commit a year to serving families of Los Angeles who are forging their path as his family did. This life-changing year has turned into a life-long commitment. As Dr. King said, “Now is the time to make real the promise of democracy.” He challenges himself and his peers to work towards this ideal.
