About Jimmy Simpson

My passion for education, advocacy, and equity has led me to my work with the national nonprofit YouthTruth. As the Senior Manager of Partnerships, I support hundreds of school and district leaders across the country in using student and stakeholder feedback data to make their schools a better place to learn, work, and grow. I also continue to pursue my passion for storytelling as a founding board member, coach, and emcee for the nonprofit Listen for a Change, an organization that uses personal storytelling to bridge communities.
