My name is Robert Washington, and I was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan. I received my bachelor’s degree in Social Work with a minor in Communication from Western Michigan University, and I am currently pursuing my master’s degree in Social Work. With my mother serving as a principal and my father as a psychologist, giving back to children and the community has always been instilled in me. I have gained experience working with Communities in Schools, the City of Kalamazoo, and Kalamazoo Public Schools. I believe that through my presence, passion, and dedication, I can bring meaningful contributions to Eastside Youth Strong and the community.
