Jeff Sanchez
Jeff Sanchez is the Deputy Director of Sequoia Foundation, a Bay Area–based public health nonprofit that partners with local and state agencies, community organizations, and academic institutions to advance environmental health and environmental justice. Jeff has over two decades of experience leading programs focused on air quality, indoor environmental health, lead poisoning prevention, and youth workforce development.
Jeff currently leads Air Aware Oakland, an initiative developed in partnership with the Oakland Unified School District and Oakland community-based organizations to train high school students and young adults in air monitoring, data interpretation, and public communication. As part of this initiative, Jeff led the deployment of outdoor air quality monitors across the majority of the 75 OUSD K-12 schools to generate hyperlocal data for education and advocacy. He also serves as Co-Investigator and Project Manager on a HUD-funded randomized controlled study supporting low-income housing residents in reducing indoor air pollution exposures. Jeff manages several statewide public health initiatives in collaboration with the California Department of Public Health, the California Air Resources Board, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Jeff leads Sequoia Foundation in prioritizing community capacity building, supporting students and residents in understanding air quality data, and ensuring public health interventions reflect local priorities and cultural context. He mentors public health students and collaborates with faculty at Cal State East Bay, and provides individualized support to community organizations on program development, evaluation, and grant support.
Jeff holds a Project Management Professional (PMP) certification and is currently pursuing a Master of Public Administration at Cal State East Bay.
