Biography

David Moren has nearly 15 years of diverse work experience, more than a decade of which has been spent in a variety of nonprofit roles. David graduated from the University of California, San Diego with a degree in Media Studies - which included organizing for various initiatives on campus and a year spent abroad studying at the University of Bologna. For the last nearly seven years, he worked at Experience Corps Bay Area, which leverages human capital – in the form of adults 50 and older – to provide literacy tutoring and mentoring to low-income elementary students who are struggling to reach grade-level benchmark. Most recently, David joined Generation Citizen as their Bay Area Site Director, where he will be focused on increasing local program growth and sustainability. Generation Citizen (www.GenerationCitizen.org) - launched out of Brown University and now further expanded to Providence, Boston, New York, and most recently to the Bay Area - is an innovative, quickly scaling non-profit that seeks to strengthen our nation’s democracy by empowering young people to become engaged and effective citizens. Generation Citizen (GC) envisions a country of young people working as active and effective citizens to collectively rebuild our American democracy. To achieve this vision, GC works to ensure that every student in the US receives an effective action civics education. We do this by directly engaging schools in "action civics" while simultaneously building the demand for the concept across the country. David sees his new role and his WKKF Fellowship - and namely, the Foundation's focus on Community and Civic Engagement - as directly complimenting each other and is excited to further develop his skills as a community change agent in service to children in our communities. When he’s not chasing after his own toddler son, David can be found standing in assorted food-truck lines, doing volunteer mediation, or reminiscing about his younger days of adding new countries to his travel list.
