Board Member Spotlight: Nokuthula Sibanda
|
Nokuthula Sibanda, PhD, works for the Department of Youth Services as the Juvenile Detention Alternative Initiative Reform Specialist. She states “I chose to join Get there, Start Now because of my commitment to ensuring young people are exposed to tools that lead to higher educational prospects. GTSN has given me the opportunity to bring my knowledge, energy, and expertise to the table, this has greatly benefited me personally and professionally."
Dr. Sibanda has centered her career around policy and advocacy for at risk youth specifically in the area of juvenile justice.
She describes her most important contribution to social change as her research work that focused on neighborhood risks and resources for youth returning home from detention centers in Massachusetts. Dr. Sibanda received her PhD in Public Policy and Administration from Walden University, and a Master’s in Criminal Justice from John Jay College of Criminal Justice in New York. When she isn’t trying to impact social change, Dr. Sibanda enjoys spending time with family and friends in particular Saturday morning swim lessons with her four year old God daughter.
