Prior to joining OVRP, Iosefa was a Peace Corps volunteer for over two years
in the Dominican Republic. Serving as an Economic Development Advisor to a

Spanish fluency, an invaluable asset in Oak View.
Preceding his Peace Corps service, Iosefa spent five years in the healthcare

was a noted football player and team captain, capping his senior year with an
Ivy League championship.
Oak View Renewal Partnership is a place-based nonprofit organization engaged
with the Oak View community since 2006. Our mission is to narrow the gap
between Oak View and the rest of Huntington Beach, Calif., while serving as a
model for community development.
