What makes Mariposa Kids special? The learning opportunities of free play provide a well rounded environment for kids, while promoting local community. Mariposa Kids supports a dynamic and fun space that is not easy to come by in a busy city. Why do I serve on the Board of MK? I'm here to help foster and grow the principles of free play, and to support each individual child as a vital and burgeoning member of their community. |
Community Organizer, Parent
What makes Mariposa Kids special? PLAY! Children need space to try, fail, succeed and try again. That starts and ends with play. At Mariposa Kids I see young people of all ages playing and growing together. And what makes Mariposa Kids special, is that the play is part of a carefully executed plan, designed to give young people a safe and loving environment to experiment and grow. Why do I serve on the Board of MK? I want to see Mariposa Kids' unique brand of play expand to support more kids and families. Social justice starts with all children having access to safe environments to learn and grow. In joining the Board, I aim to support strategic growth, in order to reach more of our community. |

Associate, David Baker Architects
What makes Mariposa Kids special? I love the focus on free play toward the development of social emotional learning. Free play was a big part of my (unprogrammed) after-school life. Why do I serve on the Board of MK? I serve on the Board of MK to invest in and engage with care spaces in the community. They are crucial part of our city and everyone that can should contribute to their success. |
Emerick Oshiro - Board Member |
Technical Program Manager, Astra
What makes Mariposa Kids special? Mariposa Kids goes beyond standard after-school care- it helps kids build confidence, communication skills, creativity, and a real sense of community. It’s a place where students feel supported, encouraged, and free to be themselves, and that kind of environment has a lasting impact. Why do I serve on the Board of MK? As a former latchkey kid, afterschool programs played an important role in my own life, so this mission is personal to me. I’ve seen the impact Mariposa Kids has up close, and I’m excited to support and grow a program that gives kids a safe place to learn, play, and thrive. |
