Introducing DOT’s 2019 YouthLAB: Rachel Okwar

Meet Rachel Okwar, a member of DOT’s 2019 Youth Leadership Advisory Board (YouthLAB) representing Kenya.

Rachel is a young Kenyan with a passion for youth issues. She works in her local county government as a volunteer, leads digital literacy training in her community as a Mozilla Club Leader, and has worked in local prisons to teach digital skills to young women in rehabilitation programs. Rachel is a member of the Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI), and a #DOTYouth alumni.
