Jane Wolff Taylor

Jane Wolff Taylor came to the Bay Area from Lake Villa, IL, a small town north of Chicago.  She graduated from Carroll College (now Carroll University), Waukesha, WI and went on to serve two years as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Chimbote, Peru, where she worked in Community Development. She returned to the Bay Area and taught in San Francisco Unified School District and then in the Oakland Unified School District for almost 30 years as a Spanish Bilingual teacher and Reading Coach.  She also mentored new teachers. She serves on the Boards of several nonprofits in her community.

Jane is married and has two adult sons and two grandchildren. She joined the CURA Board in 2007. Jane has seen CURA help so many men and women of all ages get their lives back.  In the town where she grew up a program of CURA’s stature would have benefitted so many families.
