Christian Granlund

Personal Statement

As Director of Outreach, I lead student outreach, recruitment, and onboarding efforts, overseeing a team of dedicated Seattle Promise Outreach Specialists. My responsibilities include managing comprehensive outreach programs that engage students, caregivers, community-based organizations (CBOs), high school administrators, counselors, and city agencies. I also act as the primary liaison for Seattle Public Schools administrators and external partners supporting prospective students and caregivers.

My goal is to cultivate strategic and impactful partnerships to dismantle institutional silos and barriers that hinder our ability to effectively support students, while simultaneously building holistic supports that target students furthest from educational justice. If you are interested in being a partner to serve that aim, please reach out.
