Phillip Douglas
Phillip’s family has been decimated by drugs and violence. Despite overwhelming odds he graduated from Denver’s Manual High School right before it was closed down for underperformance. With a Daniels scholarship he started college in a predominantly white college in western Colorado. Cultural issues and further family crises caused him to choose to leave college and return to Denver to help his family. His family connections led him into trouble for which he paid a serious price. Undeterred, he has become an inspiring youth trainer at Project VOYCE where he focuses on engaging disengaged youth in their schools.

Zena Price-Broncucia
A fifth generation resident of North Denver, Zena grew up with pretty positive experiences in education. After entering a public school for the first time in 9th grade, educational inequities in Denver, and the world, began to become clearer to her. She ventured to San Francisco to attend college and learn more about the world, but continued to make connections between education, justice, and the larger world. She is excited to be back in Denver and once again part of the fantastic PV crew!
