Angel "An(hel)" Torres

Angel Torres graduated from Temple University in 2008 with a Sports and Recreation Management degree. After he graduated, he knew he wanted to work with urban youth using sports as a tool to engage them, but he didn’t know where to start. He then found Playworks! He joined the Baltimore team as a Program Coordinator (Coach Torres!) in August 2008, and was promoted to Program Manager in June 2010. Angel is now fulfilling his dream of providing safe and healthy play to young people by helping 9 Program Coordinators in Baltimore run stellar programs at their schools. His favorite recess game is four square, and he has mad ping pong skills too!
