Board Of Directors

Katherine Jozefczak

President/Treasurer

With a background in banking and finance, I recognize the value of future investments and have learned that true empowerment comes from educational access and physical engagement. My involvement in my child’s education and travels to Central America showed me the profound impact of these opportunities. I believe every child deserves education and physical skill development, regardless of their background. Driven to help those facing extra barriers, I’m excited to use my skills to positively impact children worldwide with Hope Across Borders.
