Education Specialist, Metro Regional Government
Bio
Darwin is driven to serve others through his belief in the power of education and social justice. At the age of five, Darwin and his family emigrated from Nicaragua, fleeing the Contra War and leaving behind relatives, professions, and belongings. Growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area, he was greatly influenced by his parents’ determination to start a new life and build new relationships by going back to college to learn a new language and regain academic credentials. From high school to graduate school, Darwin engaged youth and adults through tutoring, mentorship, and classroom teaching in various roles.

After earning a degree in psychology, Darwin served as a senior community program specialist for the County of San Mateo for nearly a decade, leading library-based youth development, literacy, and community programs in a largely disenfranchised community in the heart of Silicon Valley. Darwin furthered his commitment to equitable education by serving on the boards of two Bay Area nonprofit organizations that strive to close the educational opportunity gap and increase civic participation for Latinos and other people of color.

Since joining Metro in 2015 as a lead educator and project manager, Darwin is actively engaged in advancing diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) work. In Oregon, Darwin has also served on the boards of the Oregon Green Schools Association and The Sauvie Island Center. He is committed to serving our region equitably and striving to amplify the voice of community, knowing that people are experts in their own lived experiences.
