Jennifer I. Dietrich, Director of Policy, Partnership for Children & Youth
Jen Dietrich is the Director of Policy at the Partnership for Children & Youth, a statewide non-profit based in the Bay Area of California, focusing on high-quality learning opportunities for under-resourced communities across the state. In her role at the Partnership for Children & Youth, Jen coordinates the California Afterschool Advocacy Alliance (CA3) - an advocacy coalition made up of more than 20 community based and advocacy organizations across California to improve the quality of and access to expanded learning programs. After a decade of flat funding for California’s after school programs, this coalition led the Save After school campaign to secure two state funding increases totaling $100 million, critical funding that helped keep after school programs open for more than 400,000 children and families that count on them each day.
Jen joined Partnership for Children & Youth in 2012 with five years of legislative experience at the state and federal levels. In Washington, D.C., she served two Members of Congress from California. In Sacramento, Jen advised two Chairs of the Assembly Budget Subcommittee on Education Finance during the Great Recession.
