Carlos Espinosa

A life-long resident of Hartford, Carlos was the first Trinity student to participate in the Trinity Center for Neighborhood’s community organizer training program while completing his Masters Degree at Trinity, where Carlos worked for Hartford Areas Rally Together organizing disenfranchised neighborhood residents. He further explored public policy issues by serving as a policy analyst and lobbyist for the Center for Community Change in Washington, D.C. Upon returning to Connecticut, Carlos helped found the Caring Families Coalition, a statewide advocacy group aimed at affecting public policy on health issues as it relates to caregivers. Carlos is currently the Director for the Smart Neighborhood Initiative, Trinity College’s community digital divide project, and Trinfo.Cafe, where he is responsible for coordinating activities, developing programming, and building relationships with over 120 local organizations participating in the project.  Carlos received his B.A. in Educational Studies and Sociology (1996) and then an M.A. in Public Policy in 1998 from Trinity College.
