For the next four weeks, we are proud to partner with the YWCA of Metropolitan Phoenix to spotlight their 2020 Tribute to Leadership honorees. Up first, is January Contreras. January ran for Arizona Attorney General in 2018, after founding ALWAYS, a nonprofit that provides no cost legal services to vulnerable young people and victims of human trafficking. She also served for 12 years on the staff of former Arizona Governor Janet Napoitano and for four years in President Obama's White House. January shares where her passion for creating change came from, and why she is driven to personally positively impact those around her. From law school to election day, she opens up to Catherine about what she's learned along the way and what's next on her journey of community change.
