A San Francisco native, Eddie Whitfield attended San Francisco State University where he earned his Bachelor’s degree in Africana Studies and served on the Black Student Union’s executive leadership board. Before becoming a Coro Fellow, he worked to plan and coordinate programs to support San Francisco youth from disadvantaged communities through his service in Healthy Choices Americorps and work in the nonprofit sector. Eddie is excited to continue to develop his leadership training, and hopes to gain multidisciplinary tools to help eradicate our nation’s most critical social disparities.
