Evelyn Arredondo Ramirez is the Digital Communications Associate at Hispanic Access Foundation. Evelyn is from Bakersfield, California and is a first-generation college graduate with her Bachelors in American Studies from The George Washington University. A trailblazer, Evelyn was selected to be part of the inaugural Cisneros Scholars cohort at the Cisneros Hispanic Leadership Institute at GW. Through the Institute she became passionate about serving the Latinx community and was able to intern for different nonprofits and discover the lack of diversity within the workplace, even more so for young Latina professionals. An advocate for social justice, Evelyn served as a 2017-2018 Trabajadoras Senior Fellow under the Labor Council for the Latin American Advancement, and as a 2018 Young People For Fellow. Having learned so much from these fellowships, Evelyn continues to advocate for Latina wage equity, empowerment of young Latinas and providing access to resources for underserved communities.

Evelyn first worked with Hispanic Access as a Latino Heritage Internship Program intern at the National Parks of Boston in 2018. In 2019, Evelyn got the opportunity to work with HAF again as a Programs Assistant, working alongside the MANO Project. Interning with Hispanic Access inspired her to join the team. She is dedicated to continuing Hispanic Access Foundation's mission of connecting Latino/a leaders to resources and opportunities nationwide. She also serves as the team lead of Our DREAMS Scholarship program, a scholarship program for undocumented youth.
