Kenny Gong [Board Co-Chair] is a recent graduate of St. Ignatius College Preparatory (2006) and is now a student at the College of San Mateo. He is also currently a member of the San Francisco Youth Commission, the official voice and advocate for the young people of the city, representing District 4 (Sunset, Parkside, Ocean Beach) and serving as the Chair of the Commission's Health & Social Services Committee. Kenny's goal and ultimate dream is to help provide all LGBTQQ youth with the accessible support, services, and love they deserve. If you can't find Kenny at LYRIC or City Hall, you may try looking at Starbucks, where he slaves away his coffee-disliking, lactose-intolerant self making drinks, or in front of his TV, watching The Food Network. |

Marisa Boyce [Board Co-Chair] graduated from UC Berkeley in 2005 with a BA from the International Area Studies Department in Development Studies. Marisa is a staff member at the Gender Equity Resource Center (GenEq) at UC Berkeley as the Program Coordinator, after working at GenEq as a student intern in the 2004-2005 academic year. Marisa has been dedicated to social justice since the age of 14 (international, queer and more in scope) and recognizes that all systems of inequality, privilege and oppression interact with one another, and cannot be addressed without considering those intersections. |
