Broadcast on:
27 Oct 2023

Amber Rivas is the President and CEO at Aviva Family & Children's Services in Los Angeles. She’s dedicated her life to solving the complex housing issues facing major metropolitan areas like LA. Amber has worked for non-profits her entire career, helping women, children, and local communities with mental health and crisis intervention. She’s engaged with the most vulnerable parts of society—tackling issues head on that most of us choose to ignore. Today we’ll learn how her selfless journey has brought her satisfaction, joy, and a connection to her community in ways that are so powerful. She’s proof that while judgment is easy, doing something about it is far more rewarding and noble. I’m excited to share with you a powerful, and moving conversation.
