Julia Brashares

Julia is the program manager for the Street Parks, and manages volunteer and clean-up events at Public Works. She is the only employee at Public Works working on street parks, which include over 200 existing projects. These projects empower residents to turn unused city land into truly unique community spaces, that reflect the needs and culture of the neighborhood. She also helps to organize weekly and monthly clean-up days for Public Works, that engage hundreds of San Francisco residents. Julia works tirelessly to navigate the city bureaucracy to find resources and help for street park projects and regularly works 12-14 hours days, spending her Saturdays onsite, working alongside volunteers as they green and clean the city.
