Gavrielle Reyes

Gavrielle Reyes is dedicated to doing power differently and helping people heal. She believes that community building begins with grace—for ourselves and each other—as we are all ancestors in training.

A graduate of Hunter College with a BA in Film and a minor in Gender Studies, Gavrielle was among the 10% of fellows selected for the Social Justice Fellowship through the Colin Powell School and CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies.

She began her youth work at the Bella Abzug Leadership Institute, facilitating after school sessions and coordinating the STARS Citywide Girls Initiative, a $1.4M NYC Council–funded collaboration reaching over 6,000 young people. Her programming centered wellness, joy, and advocacy, from Nike’s Self Care Saturdays to sexual assault prevention with SafeBAE.

After moving to Denver, Gavrielle engaged with volunteer-led programming supporting college access for first gen students and sexual assault survivor advocacy. She is honored to walk alongside the Youth on Record community at the intersection of creative education and mental health—supporting healing, liberation, and positive childhood experiences.
