Jade Weymouth, Executive Director at La Familia Sana

Growing up multi-racial as 2nd generation Chinese- American and 3rd generation Mexican-American, Jade knew that she was her ancestors dreams. Her family was very involved in the United Farm Worker (UFW) Movement in the Gilroy, Salinas and Watsonville area. Her great grandfather, Antionio Del Buono, was a labor organizer and farmworker and her grandmother, Cecilia Weymouth, was an educator and organizer. At a young age, service and volunteerism were instilled in her. Now she hopes to continue this legacy with her own daughter in her own community.

Jade (she/her) has a Bachelor's degree in Women's Studies from UC Santa Cruz and a near-complete Master's degree in Ethnic Studies. After founding a non-profit called fundakid, which ensured all youth access to high-quality programs and educational experiences, she worked with Boys & Girls Clubs of Sonoma-Marin, serving children and their families in Northern Sonoma County. There, Jade led a 20-person team overseeing 500+ youth, three school districts, and several stakeholders and community members. In tandem, she earned her Master's in Organization Development from Sonoma State. As a founding member of La Familia Sana, Jade came on board as the Executive Director of La Familia Sana in 2021. 

There, she works to implement the organization's core values of grassroots advocacy, empowerment, and equity throughout the organization and northern Sonoma County community.
