Maylin Escala
Young Leaders Program
Born and raised in one of the most diverse cities in the world! Queens, New York. She is the daughter of immigrant parents who emigrated from Ecuador, raised by a single mother who with God`s help moved mountains for her and her siblings. She has been working in the field of Education for more than 10 years. Her passion is to see people discover their potential through family, community and resources. There are many challenges faced by first generation immigrant families in building communities, connections and bridges in a new country. Her passion for community development is rooted in education; she offers experience and knowledge to work together for the common goal of seeing families flourish. She has worked alongside organizations and churches such as: FLORA and Expansion Church. Where she worked with young adults as they navigated faith in today`s context. Therefore, I am excited to join the AETH team, where we will work together to build bridges and make theology accessible to all.
