Elizabeth Marrero Jenkins

Elizabeth Marrero Jenkins is the Director of Operations at Directions for Our Youth where she works closely with the administrative staff. Elizabeth has been with the organization for years, taking on additional responsibilities as she has grown within the organization, including vendor management, finance, and human resources functions. She has worked with non-profit organizations for over 22 years, and enjoys the mission-driven nature of her work.

At DFOY, Elizabeth enjoys her interaction with the organization’s programs and seeing how the children interact with site leaders. For Elizabeth, the vision for DFOY has always been to help as many children as possible see their potential, and being part of a community willing to help take the kids off the streets, has been her most rewarding experience thus far.
