Genesis joined Domus in 2011 as a counselor at Domus’ Chester Addison Community Center (CACC), making sure neighborhood youth had a safe, welcoming enrichment program after school and during the summer. She also served as head counselor at CACC, then became a Domus Knights family advocate. “I love the connections I make with the youth and families at Domus. I want better for them and the community overall. It’s important to me to support our black and brown youth to surpass narrow, inaccurate stereotypes. Our work breaks cycles of bias and reshapes expectations so young people are seen in their full humanity. Supporting students who—like me—are Hispanic/Latinx educationally is important. Many of them come from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds that are often underrepresented or misunderstood in educational settings.” Genesis enjoys playing soccer, dancing, and watching anime.

In December 2021, he transitioned to the Domus Anchor program, where he played a key role in developing and grow the program. “I believe in the Domus mission statement and appreciate being able to serve the community where I’m from. Working with passionate people who also truly believe that a loving relationship can change lives is invaluable. Anchor gave me a new opportunity to build stronger connections with our students and support them in a more personalized and meaningful way.” Ryan’s dedication to youth and his calm, thoughtful presence make a lasting impact on the students he serves. Outside of work, Ryan enjoys hiking, learning new things, and having insightful conversations that challenge his thinking and inspire growth.
