She joined the Y-USA International Group in 1999 and served as senior associate director specializing in global and local-based strategies to engage immigrant, diverse and marginalized communities at all levels of the YMCA.聽 After launching her career as a youth worker at the YMCA of Central New Mexico, Gonzales-Chavez spent three years with the YMCA of Mexico where she founded the International Relations Department and focused on street and community outreach. She was instrumental in the development of U.S./Mexico YMCA border initiatives and the successful establishment of YMCA Shelters for Migrant Youth along the border.</p> <p>Gonzales-Chavez later served as program manager and senior gang interventionist for Youth Development, Inc., in Albuquerque, NM, where she worked with more than 50 gangs. She specialized in work with Latino, Native American and immigrant gang members.</p> <p>Gonzales-Chavez has a bachelor of arts in Latin American studies from the University of New Mexico, a master of science in public service management and a doctor of business administration, both from DePaul University.
