Jeffrey Betcher
co-founder, Quesada Gardens Initiative
Jeffrey lives and works in San Francisco’s Bayview Hunters Point neighborhood. He is a community organizer and writer who emerged from national violence prevention policy and social marketing work to develop place- and people-based approaches to strengthening the social environment alongside the physical one, the surest path toward a sustainable and just world. He co-founded and leads the award-winning Quesada Gardens Initiative and organizes Bayview Footprints, a network of community-building groups creating social cohesion and telling a positive story about a maligned neighborhood. Jeffrey brings the same commitment to local systems and community values as owner of YamStreet, a values-driven apparel business, and as co-founding president of PeopleWearSF.
