Katy Olds,
Development Associate

Katy is a Development Associate assisting with grantwriting and fundraising work. She is an attorney by training who fled the joyless corporate life to embrace the non-profit world.  In 1997, she was hired by the Golden Gate National Parks Conservancy (a non-profit partner of the National Park Service) to originate and manage the Alcatraz Night Tour, named the “Best Tour of the Bay Area” by San Francisco Magazine.  Every day, she marveled at the fact that she was paid to learn history, tell stories, create memorable experiences for visitors, and commute by boat.  She went on to become Associate Director of Visitor Programs overseeing a variety of programs and projects on Alcatraz.  She hopes to combine her storytelling and persuasive skills from her past two careers to her position at the Women’s Community Clinic.  In her spare time, Katy loves to go camping and hiking, zydeco dance, and play pirates and trains with her two little boys.
