Knoxville, Tennessee native Kevin G. Arnold has prepared a superb program for the San Diego Neighborhood Coalition. His humble beginnings include attending Clark Atlanta University, where he served as the Black Student Union President and Student Body President. His sociocultural and educational training prepared him to serve under the late great Congressman John Lewis. He oversaw community relations and business.
His experience includes coordination for Congressman John Lewis’ actual campaign, held in DC. He is also the president of Clark Atlanta University’s Alumni Association. As founder and facilitator of the San Diego Neighborhood Coalition, he promotes community safety and crime prevention.
He has prepared multiple programs for community improvement in Little Italy, Downtown, East Village, North Park, Point Loma and other communities. The programs include open forums for law enforcement, including Sheriff Kelly Martinez and politicians like Stephen Whitburn, where the community can ask real questions with real resolve. We are also planning a community day for San Diego families and homebuyer seminars.
Kevin Arnold is joined by a stellar staff, including Ana Firicano who stated, “I joined the San Diego Neighborhood Coalition because I really believe in the mission! There is no more noble work than that of care-taking for your community. We cannot stand by as our beautiful city is overrun by crime and alack of safety. I feel very passionate about helping San Diego neighborhoods become more vibrant, resilient and more welcoming, like we used to be. I want to be part of something bigger than me.” Ana is a vibrant member of the organization who is diligent in service.
We also have help from Patty Doyle who valiantly stated, “The purpose of forming the San Diego Neighborhood Coalition was a meeting of the minds between community residents and business owners concerned about the rise in crime in our fine city. Under the leadership of Kevin Arnold, we stepped up to say something, and do something to advocate for cleaner safer neighborhoods for all.” The organization is filled with vibrancy and a pure desire for safety in our communities.
