Jake Brewer
Jake Brewer is the Engagement Director for the Sunlight Foundation, which means he manages Sunlight's communications, online tools and strategy, and campaign organizing to get citizens engaged in the work of creating a more transparent and accountable government. Prior to joining Sunlight, Jake was the Strategic Communications Director for the Energy Action Coalition; the Director of Partnerships on the global management team of Idealist.org; directed Education Without Borders, the biennial event which brings a thousand young leaders from over a hundred countries to the UAE every two years; and was the Executive Director of Break Away, through which more than 40,000 students volunteer through alternative spring breaks each year. Through it all, Jake hopes to one day return to his first job as a minor league baseball mascot.
