Meet The Team

Creative Director

Justine Sophia

Justine has volunteered with Mondays at the Mission since June 2013, helping shape the curriculum, partnerships, and speaker series. She is a filmmaker and graduate of USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, currently making a techno-optimist feature film about AI and the future. She loves Argentine tango, chess, and cinema.

​

Over the years, we have often wondered where life has taken the hundreds of students who have passed through Mondays at the Mission, and what they have gone on to create. If you are a former student, we would all love to hear from you and learn where your journey has taken you!​​
