Corazón Community Services Board and Staff would like to welcome Esteban Rodriguez as the New Executive Director/Chief Executive Officer.
Esteban Rodriguez will be re-joining the organization in which he began his professional non-profit career. His journey as a youth participant, a youth worker with B.L.A.S.T., a health director, and a board member has allowed him to bring all the perspectives to continue building and leading Corazón Community Services onto our next chapter.
Esteban holds a Masters in Public Administration from Baruch College through his National Urban Fellowship and a Bachelors in Psychology from the University of Illinois at Chicago. Esteban will bring over 16 years of non-profit experience in fields of Youth, Health, Violence Prevention, Criminal Justice Reform, Housing, and Education. But his most captivating experience is that of growing up in Cicero and bringing his extensive community knowledge, perspective, and vision to better serve the heart of our community.
Please, join us in welcoming Esteban back to where his journey began.
He can be reached at [email protected]
From youth participant to Executive Director.
