Greenblatt’s appointment comes after significant changes were instituted at the fund, including the appointment of a new and expanded board of directors and other efforts to establish an independent relationship with City Hall.

Greenblatt most recently served as the deputy chief for climate and safety at the School District of Philadelphia — a position she took after completing a three-year fellowship at the School District of Philadelphia through the Stoneleigh Foundation.

Greenblatt has also held youth-focused roles within the Court of Common Pleas (Family and Criminal Divisions) and the City of Philadelphia’s law department, and served as a consultant for the Southeast Regional Office of Children, Youth, and Families of the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.

The Juvenile Law Center, which advocates for rights, dignity, equity and opportunity for youth in the foster care and justice systems, has hired three new Fellows: Emily Satifka through the Sol and Helen Zubrow Fellowship in Children’s Law; Michael Joseph, a project-based Fellow with the organization’s economic justice team supported through the Penn Law Review Public Interest Fellowship; and Sara Guiang, an Americorps VISTA & PHENND Fellow.

Satifka was born and raised in Pennsylvania and got her bachelor’s degree from Temple University. She is a recent graduate from the University of California, Irvine School of Law where she was a public service scholar. She was a board member for the school’s National Lawyers Guild chapter, and interned at the Alliance for Children’s Rights and the Nashville Defenders. She also previously worked for Americorps.

Joseph joins the organization after graduating from University of Pennsylvania School of Law. Prior to law school, he interned at Youth Sentencing & Reentry Project, focusing on the coordination of reentry support for individuals serving sentences of life without parole and preparing for resentencing hearings in the wake of Montgomery v. Louisiana. He also participated in Penn Law’s Criminal Defense Clinic, representing clients in preliminary hearings, probation violation hearings, and misdemeanor trials. His project will focus on ending juvenile costs, fines and fees.

Guiang joins the organization from Las Vegas, Nevada, where she received her bachelor’s degree from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. She was a court appointed special advocate for abused and neglected youth in the foster care system. At Juvenile Law Center, her work will focus on the Youth Matters: Philly app, a web-based app that bridges the gap between vital resources in Philadelphia and older youth in foster care or facing housing instability.
