Rosa Jones, Afterschool Program Director (Parc Derian) – Born and raised in Southern California, Mrs. Jones joins our team with over ten years experience serving children and adults with physical and developmental disabilities. Growing up in a multigenerational household, she gained a strong sense of service which led her to our EngAGE team. With her passion for humanitarianism, she was intrigued by human behavior and received her Bachelor’s degree in psychology in 2011. Since then, Rosa has dedicated her life to advocating for individuals in need and assisting them in reaching their full potential in California, Colorado, and Nebraska. Rosa is delighted to use her creativity to connect, empower and encourage the children and youth at Parc Derian in Irvine, CA. Her goal is to create a positive, safe and enjoyable atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed. She is fluent in English and Spanish. In her spare time, she enjoys being outdoors in Mother Nature: gardening, hiking, running, reading, painting, and spending time with family and friends.
