With a passion for community, creativity, and growth, Leslie Sis-Chico brings a strong background in student services and outreach to her role as Social Worker for our Project Fatherhood program. She is currently pursuing a B.A. in Communication Studies with a focus on Culture and Public Affairs, along with a Mediation Certificate in Conflict, Negotiation, and Dispute Resolution at California State University, Long Beach. Leslie is committed to building a career in the nonprofit sector, where she can combine her communication skills with her dedication to helping individuals and families access vital resources.

 

Before joining our team, Leslie served as a Lead Program Assistant at Los Angeles City College, where she managed scholarship outreach, coordinated workshops, and built community partnerships to expand resources for former foster youth. She also completed an internship with Project Fatherhood, where she gained valuable experience in curriculum development, program evaluation, and nonprofit communications. 

 

Outside of her professional and academic commitments, Leslie enjoys hiking, gardening, and photography. She finds balance and inspiration in capturing the beauty of nature and hopes to grow her photography into a creative side venture. With her anticipated graduation in Fall 2025, Leslie looks forward to expanding her impact in community-focused work and giving back by helping others access the same opportunities that supported her own journey.
