About Embrace!

Embrace is a nonprofit organization rooted in the promotion of social and physical wellness programs that serve underprivileged communities in a variety of ways. Founded in 2000 by CEO Sean Sheppard, Embrace programs
are designed to connect college student leaders to San Diego’s multi-cultural community in the areas of social
and physical wellness through service learning and volunteerism. The organization is built on the philosophy that
serving less fortunate members of society brings people together - irrespective of their race, religion or cultural
upbringing.
