Robynne Jeisman has worked for over the past 20 years in Australia and the US, with high-risk adolescents experiencing homelessness, juvenile justice, sexual exploitation, mental health issues and addictions. Working in Community Service Organizations, local community groups, & high schools, she demonstrates a heart for youth needing a place to call home, and to feel a sense of belonging in our ever-changing world.

Robynne has had a passion for positive and creative housing options for underserved youth for many years. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, she is the Executive Director of Turntable, a non profit providing housing and support for youth in transition, that facilitates youth to share life with people in the community and grow from strength to strength.

Live music, time with friends and family, reading, movies and taking every opportunity to get outdoors, are all top of Robynne’s list for fun! Unity and community are central to Robynne's call to urban poverty, and she enjoys seeing "new things" take place in people’s lives.
