Meet AFP Chicago Fellow Rosa Yadira Ortiz
Rosa Yadira Ortiz is the Development Director at the Illinois Caucus for Adolescent Health (ICAH), an organization committed to supporting the sexual health, identities, and rights of youth.
Rosa talked with AFP Chicago recently to discuss when and how her interest in development began. She also gave us some insights into her work with ICAH, delves into her deep commitment to social justice, and shares what she thinks is the biggest challenge young development professionals face today.
