Our Team
Tue Huynh
EXEUTIVE DIRECTOR
Tue Huynh is a member of the Reentry Advisory Collaborative, a selective program that helps him build a leadership position in L.A. County. As a transformed person with a criminal background, he saw the unfavorable system needed to be reconstructed holistically. It’s important to maintain the proper balance so that everyone can have an equal opportunity to succeed in life. He offers suggestions and collaborates with team members to tackle the most difficult tasks that the community is facing. Their mission is to help the system-impacted population and reduce mass incarceration. Before joining the RHAC, Tue facilitated entrepreneurship training and earned an MBA certificate from Baylor University through an organization called Defy Ventures, a company that helps people with criminal histories have a second chance to become a C.E.O. of their new life. Tue is a member of API RISE, a support network that helps the community to understand the necessity of changes to an unfair justice system that involves immigration detentions and harsh environments.
Tue is also a college student at Villanova University. With his major in business of public social services, Tue believes that he can bring his dream to life one day to make this world a better place. His ultimate goal is to become a successful person, and that means having stable employment or business, having a beautiful family, and reaching out to others.
