Yoel Solís

Adult Education and Literacy Coordinator

Yoel joined the Federation in January of 2012.  He is the curriculum designer and instructor for the Solar Career Move program, and collaborates with Federation staff and member agencies on adult education initiatives, including serving on Lutheran Settlement House’s Literacy Advisory Committee.

 From 2009 to the end of 2011 he worked for Diversified Community Services as instructor and curriculum designer for the Green Jobs Readiness Partnership, designing and facilitating a contextualized literacy, numeracy, science, and soft skills curriculum for adults preparing for green collar jobs.  Prior to that, he worked for seven years with Northfield Community LDC of Staten Island, designing and implementing workforce-contextualized ESOL for Spanish-speaking foodservice and construction workers, and bilingual financial literacy curricula.  His professional passions are contextualized, collaborative learning, and promoting the importance of numeracy and science literacy in adult education and workforce initiatives. 

Previously Yoel worked in theater as almost everything except a director.

Fun fact:  The one and only Broadway show he worked on was panned by the NY Times as a “giant, writhing green blob with music.”
