Corazón Healdsburg
Marcy Flores was raised in Geyserville, California and has been active in the Sonoma County community and school districts for the past 11 years. Her passion for working with the Latinx community came after her active involvement and political activism with Movimiento Estudiantil Chicana/o de Aztlán (M.E.Ch.A.) and through her work with California Migrant Education -- Mini-Corps, working with Healdsburg migrant students and their families during her studies at Sonoma State University. Marcy studied Chicano and Latino Studies and Early Childhood Education and worked for the Sonoma State University Upward Bound Programs, supporting first generation high school students on their path to a 4-year university. With her background and passion in education, Marcy returned to her former high school in Geyserville to support parents and students to pursue their post-secondary education and career goals by providing them with opportunities and the tools to succeed.
Marcy was a former committee member with the Hispanic Chamber Young Professionals, Vice Chair Commissioner with Healdsburg Parks and Recs, Crew Supervisor with Social Advocates for Youth (SCYEC Program), current Ballet Folklórico volunteer instructor and Alliance Medical Center Board Member. Marcy loves spending time with her two children and enjoys volunteering in her local community.
Marcy's work will be focused around our youngest clients ages 0-18, along with their parents, through our Moms to Moms Program, infant/toddler early childhood education, Kinder2College and FirstGen College Counseling programs.
