Jacob Pinney-Johnson, Consultant/Trainer

Jacob Pinney-Johnson joined ECIC in 2022 as Consultant and Trainer in Equity and Leadership. He is grateful to come from a family that instilled in him the values of equity and justice. 

Through his journey as a father of two young children, he noticed many community spaces were not father and family-friendly. This led him, along with other fathers in his community, to help develop a fatherhood program at their local county department of health. Once established, Jacob worked as a community educator supporting new and expecting dads through fatherhood-based curriculums and home visitation, and he continues to support fatherhood programming in his local community. Jacob brings experience in racial equity, workforce development, and criminal justice.    

As a consultant and trainer with the National Center for Family and Parent Leadership, Jacob works with parent leaders and partners across the nation who are working to build their capacity to embed family and parent leadership. He believes families are the nexus of our communities and that we have the answers to help solve many of the issues our communities and world face. Jacob has come to appreciate the quote of Grace Lee Boggs, “We are the leaders we’ve been waiting for.”
