As a first-generation American born to parents of Caribbean descent, Kasheef attributes the alignment of his career and purpose to interventions and exposure to educational resources far outside of the community that raised him. With such a dichotomy between the two worlds he grew to know, an unshakeable commitment to be on the frontline of change was born. As National Programming Initiatives Director, Kasheef leverages his experience in developing programs that deliver value to organizational members and partners. He is responsible for the integrity of programs, trainings, and materials, ensuring that all offerings align with the mission, vision, and values of the organization.
