Andrea Johnson (She/her)

The Director of Community Engagement leads its work to expand play equity through neighborhood-focused networks to ensure young people and families in neighborhoods that have been on the margins of traditional access and power have expanded access to the power of play. This strategy prioritizes three goals at a neighborhood level: 1) Collaborative Network; 2) Local Access; and 3) Coach Pipeline. For the 2024 and 2025 school years, UI is focused on this work with four Chicago neighborhoods, while developing a playbook for future expansion/iteration of this work with additional neighborhoods.
