Raymundo Lopez
Volunteer
What gets Raymundo up from bed every morning is knowing that the day will present itself with new opportunities to be kind to folks and just enough time to chow down a carne asada burrito (with an ice-cold horchata por favor!). As a volunteer at the Women’s Center, he strives to listen, learn and empower women in the fullest capacity! Firmly believing in the impact of community work and political science, Lopez started a YouTube channel in an effort to simplify ideas and political concepts to people of all backgrounds. If political science did not exist, Lopez would probably be ‘bahahahaing’ with babydoll sheep in a beautiful farm living happily ever after.
