Rifqa Sa’Aadat
Director
Rifqa is a native Houstonian. She holds a B.A. and M.A. in Criminal Justice from the University of Colorado.
Although her degree is in criminal justice, her passion is working with children. She has worked with children and youth from preschool to high school, including youth in conflict with the law. She can give youth a voice, and they often communicate with her about problems they are facing. She developed a detention advocacy curriculum for youth held in detention.
Rifqa has presented at national and international conferences on children’s issues and on giving youth a voice in matters that concern them, both within the justice system and in their communities.
As a volunteer at Generation to Generation, Rifqa assisted with program development, reached out to youth, coordinated the yearly Zealous Advocacy conference, and brought holiday cheer to youth in Harris County facilities. She is excited to continue her work with Generation to Generation as she continues her career working with children on board a Disney cruise ship.
