Liz Baham

Parent Involvement Project, Director

Liz manages our Parent Involvement Project, an early education initiative aimed at strengthening public schools that serve children from low-income families by increasing parent involvement in the education process. The Parent Involvement Project is an initiative of the community foundation, supported by a donor-advised fund.

Liz is responsible for the project’s design, implementation and evaluation and measurement.  She works with community foundation leadership, school administrators and project supervisors to ensure that the PIP goals are fully implemented and results are tracked.

Liz has more than 15 years of experience as a secondary mathematics teacher and school-to-work liaison in the San Francisco Unified School District specializing in K-12 urban. Most recently, she worked as an external evaluator and technical assistance provider for schools and school districts in both Northern and Southern California. 

A graduate of Stanford University with a Master of Arts Degree in Education, Liz is currently a doctoral candidate in the Leadership for Educational Equity Program (LEEP) at the University of California, Berkeley.

Liz was born in San Francisco and currently lives in the East Bay. She is an avid traveler and loves to learn about other cultures. For the past several years, Liz has worked in her church community, to ensure that the young people are equipped with the resources they need to be successful in college.
