There is a new face on the Stonewall Columbus team. Please welcome new staff member, Omar Faruk! Omar is studying Computer and Information Science at The Ohio State University. Prior to moving to Columbus in summer of 2008, he resided in New York City where he founded a youth volunteering organization and a technology firm geared towards services for small nonprofit organizations. In 2007, Omar was the youngest recipient of the “Ernst & Young/NFTE Youth Entrepreneur of the Year.” He currently serves on the Board of Directors of The Legacy Fund of the Columbus Foundation. Omar will be an integral part of the Stonewall Columbus team helping to plan our exciting Pride celebration, cultivating new members and organizing panel discussions that focus on issues facing the youth in our community.
