Board Vice-hair/Cofounder
Chair Mallory Gaston
Elana Yonah is the co-founder of the George Lucas Educational Foundation and creator of EDUTOPIA.org, the most widely used online video magazine in K-12 education for 30+ years.
She then founded Just Think in Marin City in 1995 and with her team, grew it to a $50M company serving diverse and distressed young people. They developed critical thinking, creative expression skills, and tech mastery to tell their stories through films. Their works were shown 3 years in a row at the Sundance Film Festival, 3 times at International Children’s Summits in Paris for UNESCO, and at the International Peace Conference in Dubrovnik.
Elana is a 33-yr resident of Sausalito and continues to work supporting non-profits and social enterprises in the start-up phase. Elana was a competitive athlete (gymnastics, sprinting through college, and became a world champion Ultimate Frisbee player). She now aspires to be walking injury-free at 106 years old thanks to Mallory Gaston’s comprehensive conditioning curricula. She looks forward to sharing these life-long practices with future fitness leaders.
