Irina joined ATC in 2012, after making the big trek from Washington, DC to San Francisco. Irina holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminology & Criminal Justice. When she’s not at ATC, she’s either planning her costume for next year’s Burning Man or participating in group meditations. She loves Yoga and unicorns, and, even better, unicorns doing yoga. We don’t know why it took her so long to move to California. She was born to live here.

Email Onyinye
Onyinye joined ATC in 2015 and is grateful for the opportunity to serve San Francisco’s most disenfranchised youth on their own terms. She is impressively calm and collected – something we learned one day when she was unfazed by the news that there was a fire in her apartment. Onyinye can definitely roll with the punches and is the ultimate team player, which makes ATC lucky to have her. Her interests include metaphysics, blues music, classic cars, and lying on a beach doing absolutely nothing.

Nora joined ATC as our Associate Director in 2014. She loves spending hours working on a good jigsaw puzzle and has recently become obsessed with French music (Stromae, Christine and the Queens). At her former job she dug around in the dirt with youth in the Western Addition at the environmental education non-profit CommunityGrows. She has successfully charmed her way onto the ATC team by wearing the wackiest sweaters that thrift store money can buy!

While in school, she volunteered for a youth crisis line, organized around public higher education, and worked for a variety of nonprofits. Megan grew up in the heat of Sacramento, so she’s grateful to now live under a blanket of fog. Megan enjoys long walks in Golden Gate Park, analyzing Saturday Night Live more than anyone should, and nerding out over all things history.

Shawn is one of ATC’s most experienced and dedicated staff members. She first joined ATC in 2004 as an Outreach Counselor, became our Program Manager three and a half years later, and has now stepped into the Program Director role. Shawn has had a huge impact on shaping and strengthening our organization – and not just because she’s constantly decorating our office with various treasures she has found buried in her garage. A lifelong San Franciscan, Shawn can tell you all about what the city was like “back in the day.” In her (rare) free time, you can bet she’s cheering on the Giants or the Niners.

Email Rob
As Executive Director and Co-Founder of At The Crossroads, Rob has been with ATC since its inception in 1997. He’s got the gray hairs to prove it! Rob’s passion for working with underserved youth and leadership in the field earned him the GQ Leader Award in 2012. At the awards celebration, he got to rub elbows with celebrities like Kelly Ripa, Michael Strahan, and Ted Danson. If you’ve got approximately three hours to hear the stories, ask him about it sometime! When he’s not working, you can find Rob at Starbucks, the Ferry Building Farmers Market, hanging with his family, or hiking in the Headlands.

Email Demaree
Demaree became ATC’s newest Outreach Counselor in July 2015. He has spent the past five years working with underserved youth and low-income families. He joined ATC because of the opportunity to work with and directly serve youth who normally don’t have access to much-needed resources. He enjoys music, writing, and basketball, and has a horrible sense of humor.
