DAVID BUCKLEY

Program Coordinator

pronouns: he/him

David is responsible for supporting YSRP’s case advocacy team, organizing its various programs, and imagining and implementing new initiatives for the organization. David comes to YSRP with a background in education: having taught middle school social studies in the Germantown neighborhood of Philadelphia, and college-level arts courses to individuals who are incarcerated, he is well acquainted with the ways in which young people – especially those who are Black – are targeted by the carceral state. He obtained a degree in Black studies from Swarthmore College, and identifies as an abolitionist; as such, he is grateful for the opportunity to contribute to YSRP’s work and mission.
