About Leslie Prado
As a mission-driven nonprofit leader, I bring over a decade of experience designing and scaling programs that expand access to opportunity for underrepresented communities, especially youth and young adults. My work centers on financial equity, education, and cross-sector collaboration to create systems that foster economic mobility and generational wealth.Throughout my career, I’ve led high-impact initiatives in partnership with community-based organizations, funders, and national networks. From advancing virtual financial capability programs during the pandemic to facilitating national learning cohorts focused on youth economic opportunity, I bring a strategic and equity-centered lens to every project.I’ve had the privilege of moderating national conversations on youth financial inclusion, managing local financial coaching programs, and building strategic partnerships to support first-gen and BIPOC communities.Whether I’m building programs, cultivating partnerships, or elevating community voices, I’m driven by a deep belief in equity, inclusion, and the power of collaboration.Let’s connect if you’re working on initiatives in youth development, financial capability, or systems change or if you\'re simply passionate about building a more equitable future.
