Joaquín H. Acosta

Volunteer mentor with Baobab Community Trust

  • 🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States
  • Baobab Community Trust
  • 1985 to 2019
  • English
For 34 years I've mentored people in first-generation students and design. Mostly it's coffee, honest feedback and a lot of listening. I don't give advice so much as ask questions until the answer shows up. I'm always reading two books at once. I never expected anything in return, but a kind word always makes my day.

What gifts mean to Joaquín: I'd put gifts toward travel for in-person sessions with students.
