Kymberly Cabais

Program Manager

As a child, Kim was a latchkey kid and had very few experiences with out-of-school time programs but still feels like she grew up in after-school -- it just happened as an adult. In 2010, Kim applied for a job as an after-school leader because it sounded fun and easy (oh, the naivety!). At the time, she had a second job delivering pizzas, but after a few months working in the before/after-school program, she left the pizza life behind so she could focus her time and energy on the youth and families in her program. Kim found her purpose in after-school. She never would have imagined that a job she took for fun would become her profession.

Prior to CalSAC, Kim worked in expanded learning programs for the YMCA of San Diego for over 13 years, holding various roles from a Youth Leader working directly with students to a Coordinator supporting multiple expanded learning school sites. Most recently, she was the Quality Programs Trainer and created intentional, standardized training content and learning opportunities for YMCA ASES program staff across San Diego County.

Kim is a music lover, pretend chef, occasional bookworm, and a very recreational hooper. She’s also a level-one half-elf monk looking to join a (Dungeons & Dragons) party and/or campaign.
