About me
Lacy is the Founding Director of Moving Forward Institute, a nonprofit organization that focuses on students’ emotional well being as a critical strategy for improving their academic achievement. She founded the organization fifteen years ago in Oakland, CA; inspired by a vision of an organization run by young people, for young people, she believed in the power of a new generation to create fresh solutions to persistent social problems. Since its founding, the organization has served more than ten thousand of the most underserved youth in their community, and trained over five hundred young adults to serve as a new generation of educational leaders.
