Carrie Evans co-founded Educators for Fair Consideration (now Immigrants Rising) with Kathy Gin in 2006 and currently serves on Immigrants Rising’s Leadership Council as the Advisory Committee Chair. From 2003-2006, Carrie was the Director of College Counseling at Eastside Prep in East Palo Alto.

From 2008-2011, Carrie led the organization’s New American Scholars Program. She has continued to advise Immigrants Rising in various capacities over the years, including on the Communications Strategy Team, the Steering Committee for the Ten-Year Anniversary Celebration and the Executive Director Succession Plan.
