Eric Steckel

By Chelsea Boniak | October 29, 2016

As Communications Director, Eric is passionate about increasing community awareness of the educational inequity within our education system, and providing children a fairer chance to succeed in school … and in life. With a wealth of experience in both traditional and digital communications, he was appointed communications director after a long period of volunteering and mentoring youth at Children Rising.

Keenly aware of the power of one-on-one relationships, Eric enjoys serving in an organization where relationships make a profound difference in tutoring kids in reading and math. By getting off of the sideline and taking part, he is able to share stories of progress and hope.

Eric is a graduate of Bucknell University and holds a Master’s Degree in Communication from the American University in Washington, DC. He is married with two children, and when he’s not handling communications duties, you will likely find Eric running his favorite East Bay trails or coaching youth soccer.
