Johnny Duda brings entrepreneurial non-profit and education experience to SVP. Since graduating from Harvard with Honors in 1999, Johnny has been actively involved in the non-profit community as a board member, advisor, and founder of several non-profits. Johnny has taught humanities and creative writing in public and private school settings, and is currently in his second year of UCLA's Education Doctorate Program studying the positive effect of journalism studies on overall academic achievement, specifically in relation to students of poverty. In 2006, Johnny co-founded the CASA Foundation (with Bill Bryan, the father of a former student) in an effort to leverage his research in the creation of new programs that address the widening "achievement gap" in inner city public schools.
