Rosario Quiroz Villarreal is a policy entrepreneur at Next100 and an advocate for immigration and education who is committed to increasing educational equity for immigrant students and students of color. Growing up as an undocumented immigrant, Rosario understood that the sacrifices her parents made in moving to a new country were centered around securing better opportunities for the future, and that education could provide a pathway toward a choice-filled life. However, as she got older, she recognized that, while education was certainly filled with opportunities, particular populations were constantly excluded. At Next100, her work focuses on protecting the rights and access to education of immigrant students, creating more culturally inclusive classrooms and curricula, and promoting effective restorative justice practices to interrupt the school-to-prison pipeline.
