Mica is the director of Volunteer Recruitment and Partnerships at Thread. Thread harnesses the power of relationships to create a new social fabric of diverse individuals deeply engaged with young people facing the most significant opportunity and achievement gaps. Their community is committed to ending social isolation and building a more equitable culture in which everyone thrives. Thread makes a ten-year commitment to them, beginning in 9th grade.
