Alejandra

Youth Advisory Council Member

Alejandra Gomez is a passionate human rights activist dedicated to advocating for foster youth and Indigenous communities on a national and international scale. As an Indigenous former foster youth who has experienced youth homelessness, she understands the challenges of losing family, language, culture, and traditions and starting anew.

Alejandra's advocacy extends beyond her college campus, where she actively engages in policy analysis to impact public policy on issues like youth homelessness, the Indian Child Welfare Act (ICWA), foster care, and Indigenous matters at state and national levels. Her focus lies in harnessing Indigenous cultural strength, fostering community support, and advocating for comprehensive investment to drive positive change within the child welfare system.
