NSD also has two additional Neighborhood Specialists who have been supporting neighborhood groups in underserved communities with their long-term projects and plans.
Rosario Espinoza continues to collaborate with Arizona State University's Watts College on its Maryvale One Square Mile Initiative. Additionally, she provides technical support to neighborhood groups in the village of Maryvale that have been offered grant funding and assists them in their ongoing collaborative projects. Rosie's passion is connecting high-school aged, future neighborhood leaders with local government and institutions to help them understand current concerns of their community and learn the best way to advocate for their neighborhoods' needs.
