Grace Clinton

Grace is a passionate and dedicated nonprofit worker whose experience includes time at a systems-impacted youth empowerment organization (Fresh Lifelines for Youth) and an affordable housing organization (Satellite Affordable Housing Associates).

During her time as an undergrad political science student, Grace developed a strong interest in social justice, community-centered work, and criminal justice. Originally aspiring to be a prosecutor, Grace’s time at Fresh Lifelines for Youth facilitated a shift in interest towards public defense and empowering fellow community members whom the legal system has wronged. She is thrilled to have the opportunity to contribute to PFJ’s mission of transforming public defense. In her spare time, Grace enjoys reading, writing, watching sports, and spending time with friends and family.
