Haley Bragdon-Clements is a graduate of Saint Anselm College, where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Politics with a minor in Gender Studies. Haley was involved in community work at Sununu Youth Services Center, a secure residential facility for detained and sentenced youth in Manchester, New Hampshire. It was here that her passion for social justice, particularly in relation to young people involved in the justice system, was ignited. After college graduation, Haley began an AmeriCorps year of service program and was placed at Homeboy Industries Youth Re-Entry Center in Los Angeles, California. Homeboy Industries is the world’s largest gang rehabilitation and re-entry program. After completing her year of service, she was employed full-time at this organization as a youth case manager. In this role, she walked alongside formerly incarcerated, gang-involved youth ages 14-24, advocating for them while supporting them in reaching their goals. Haley found her purpose in advocating for systems-involved youth and promoting a care-centered approach to addressing the needs of vulnerable communities. She is excited to bring her passion to the CASA team, continuing her mission to advocate for young people.
