🌟 Staff Highlight: Varzi Jean-Baptiste, Senior Program Director

For Varzi Jean-Baptiste, helping young people succeed in college starts long before the first day of class.

As Senior Program Director at Educate Tomorrow, Varzi helps lead our postsecondary education work, supporting young people impacted by foster care and homelessness as they navigate the path to and through college. From college tours and summer college-readiness programs to ongoing success coaching, life-skills development, scholarships, and other critical supports, her work helps students arrive on campus prepared—and stay on track toward graduation.

An experienced nonprofit leader, Varzi brings deep expertise in program development, evaluation, and grant management. She also leads one of Educate Tomorrow’s major college success initiatives, Educate Tomorrow Scholars, supporting hundreds of students as they pursue degrees and credentials and build a foundation for long-term success.

But the accomplishment she is proudest of is being a mom. Her twin sons have always been her “north star” and inspiration, both personally and professionally.

We’re grateful for Varzi’s leadership, her commitment to our students, and the experience and heart she brings to Educate Tomorrow every day. 💙
