Joanna "Jo" Swift
Executive Director

Joanna Swift graduated from Earlham College with a Bachelors in Peace and Global Studies, focusing on Conflict Resolution in Youth. In addition to stopping by as a Glenview teen back in the day, Joanna has been with the YO in a professional capacity since 2007. On one hand she's the face of the WYO, advocating for teens wherever she goes, but to the YO regulars she's a crafty, silly friend who's always there to listen.
