Participant Successes

Voices JH is proud to have placed and supported our participants in public roles in 8 organizations across the Teton region.

  • Currently, 3 Voices participants sit on community nonprofit boards.

  • In 2022, Marcela Badillo was elected to the Town of Jackson Equity Taskforce.

“When I first joined a nonprofit board, I was nervous and I was worried about not belonging. Now I can see the need to represent Latinos in important decisions and that our opinions need to be considered. Hopefully in the near future we will have more Latino voices on our community boards.”
