Henry Sotelo (he/him/his), Program Director / Social Services Coordinator (El Verano, Anaheim, CA) – Mr. Sotelo is a 3rd Generation Angeleno. He has had a lifelong passion for the arts, music, travel, and social justice. In his free time, you can find him hiking/cycling the California Coastal Trail, or taking advantage of the rich arts and culture that California has to offer. His undergraduate studies were in Film & Electronic Arts at Cal State Long Beach, and he went on to earn a Masters Degree in 3D Animation from the Academy of Art, San Francisco. Eventually, all his passions led to him parachuting into the Nonprofit Sector, where he has directed Senior Corps and AmeriCorps grants/programs for the Corporation for National & Community Service. His experiences in serving older adults have been educational, impactful, and made it clear to Henry: helping older adults thrive is his ikigai. He strives to always have a “beginner’s mind” and cultivate programming at EngAGE that will inspire residents to live their best lives!
