Thailyah Miller
Community Development Associate
I joined Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco because I wanted to be a part of an organization that is committed to guiding San Francisco families with different resources and programs to help them advance in life with a public-school education. My role as a Community Development Associate is to provide youth voice and feedback to different education policies as a former student of the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). My role at Parents for Public Schools of San Francisco is essential because I can share my experience as a Black scholar in SFUSD. Therefore, I am equipped with the knowledge and resources to help students and families navigate through SFUSD so that they can thrive.
