Meet Dr. Vicki Cabrera

I understand the challenges mission-driven organizations can face because I’ve lived them. Before I became a social impact consultant, I served in AmeriCorps VISTA, worked as a nonprofit program manager in New York City, and co-founded a school for a poverty-alleviation NGO in the Philippines. These experiences shaped my passion for empowering marginalized communities and showed me both the impact and complexity of this work. Today, I partner with organizations to help them use research,  evaluation, and social science to strengthen programs and  demonstrate impact.
