The concept of organizational justice is based on the idea of fairness. How an environment that is built on healthy balance, equity and justice can affect employees, and how the lack of such environment can equally and negatively impact the well being and performance of employees.

Today I want to focus on one particular organization that is doing just that.
\nTOGETHER! is a nonprofit organization founded in 1989 that serves youth and families in the South Sound with a mission to advance the health and well-being of all young people. They offer direct service youth programs, mobilize communities through coalitions, advocate for healthier laws, norms and systems and promote health through community and individual education.

My guest is Kahlo Flores, the director of the Clubhouse Dual Language - before and after school program branch of together, and her insights as to how implementing the fundamentals of organizational justice have in a short time transformed the two schools that she oversees.
\nKahlo was born in a small town in Mexico. Her family moved to Wenatchee Washington where she grew up and played varsity soccer for the Wenatchee Panthers, as well as, playing trumpet for the High school's popular mariachi group known as Mariachi Huenachi. She moved to Western Washington and worked for the Senate and the Commission on Hispanic Affairs located at the state capitol. Kahlo obtained her bachelor's degree from The Evergreen State College in Olympia and is now currently enrolled in Evergreen's master's in public administration program. Kahlo has focused on educational equity, social justice, community outreach, and Latinx issues. She joined TOGETHER! a Thurston county non-profit in 2016 starting as a volunteer through Evergreen and is now the Cohort 16 Club House and Dual Language Director. Through TOGETHER! she directs two after-school programs for the North Thurston School District serving 120 students daily grades 1st-5th.
