Carla Veliz
JOYA Scholars Program Coordinator
Fullerton, CA
I was born and raised in LA, the daughter of immigrants from central America, daughter of the King, and the first in my family to go and graduate from college.
I have a passion for seeing and partaking in city transformation through the power of the gospel well as the meeting physical and emotional needs of any community. Currently, my role involves serving Latino students who live in a low income neighborhood in Fullerton by helping them understand their opportunities through higher education! Talk to me about college access, education, urban youth, community development, creative arts worship and spiritual formation.
