Chief Executive Officer (CEO), ProYouth

Dr. Marie M. Pinto is the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) for ProYouth, a nonprofit Expanded Learning organization based in the Central Valley of California. In her role at ProYouth, Marie oversees the operation that serves 20,000 students on 60 school sites in 12 school districts and two counties. Marie is passionate about out-of-school time because it provides opportunities to those children who may not have access to academic support, enrichment, a healthy meal, and a caring adult. Marie was motivated to join the CAN Leadership Team because it allowed her to participate in the process that can effect positive change in the field of expanded learning and to work and interact with the change agents of the state.
