Read Anthony's Personal Message (November 2010)

Anthony William Ross
DIRECTOR

Anthony joined Outlet in 2003 to fearlessly coordinate and implement the many Outlet programs and services. With a Master's degree in Health Education from SUNY Cortland, Anthony is a whiz at program design and evaluation. He took the director position of Outlet in the fall of 2008 and continues to provide support, leadership and education while performing all director responsibilities. Originally from upstate New York, Anthony resides in the Bay Area enjoying his cup of coffee and the beaches of Santa Cruz.

Sammy Maramba-Ferrell
PROGRAM COORDINATOR

Sammy recently joined Outlet in November 2010. Originally from the East Bay, he has a degree in Global Studies and minored in LGBTQ Studies from UC Santa Barbara. He has worked in both queer youth of color activism and public education in the Bay Area, Boston, and Santa Barbara for over 10 years. He believes in negotiating identity-politics for the purpose of self-discovery and building bridges between identity groups to envoke stronger community networks everywhere. The question of accessibility also applies to cross-generational work which inspires him to embrace and legitimize different values and forms of knowledge ranging from our elders' wisdom to the insight from youth experiences. He hopes to encourage dialogue between homophobia, heterosexism and gender-discrimination platforms for growth in the queer community and for safer and supportive schools.
