Drew Min
Born and raised in the Outer Richmond neighborhood of San Francisco, I attended Lowell High School and then the City College of San Francisco before transferring to the University of California, Berkeley. Coming from an immigrant family who stressed the importance of giving back to a newfound home, public service has always been my focus. I served as a Mayoral Appointee to the Youth Commission and on the Civil Grand Jury under the San Francisco Superior Court. Afterwards, I served as the Student Chancellor for the City College of San Francisco and then as Executive Director for a community advocacy 501c3 nonprofit called the San Francisco Community Alliance for Unity, Safety, and Education (SFCAUSE). Some of my past work for the community include co-founding the annual Bay Area Korean Chuseok Festival, writing and spearheading multiple city resolutions that were ratified by the Board of Supervisors, and advocating for the San Francisco Police Department to establish the Hate Crime Tip Line which covers nine languages. Today, I still live in the Outer Richmond, get coffee from La Promenade Cafe, and enjoy the occasional ice cream from Joe's.
