Picture
I participated in several young adult leadership programs and mission experiences that opened my eyes to wide range of social justice issues in my community. I am passionate about providing similar opportunities to young adults. Investing in young adult leadership development is necessary for social change and for the transformation of our world.”​
​Martine Daceus joined the Office of Missional Engagement team in July 2020 as the Director of the Young Adult Missional Movement (YAMM) where she is responsible for leading the strategic, financial, programmatic and administrative operations. She oversees the collaborations between community-based organizations, churches, young adult participants, staff and the governing board.
 
She has over 10 years of experience in the community development sector serving in youth development, college and career readiness, young adult leadership programs, and leading the communication and programmatic initiatives of a coalition for affordable housing and economic development organization. Her prior positions have involved programmatic launches, which have taught her to evaluate the gifts and needs of a community, develop partnerships and networks, cast vision, and lead through change.

Martine is a recipient of the 2016 Bank of America Neighborhood Builder Rising Leader Award. She earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in Communications from Florida Southern College. After college she served as a young adult volunteer through the AmeriCorps program. She has Master in Public Administration with a focus in Community Development from Florida International University. When she’s not working, Martine enjoys a good book or podcast, traveling,  the beach, running, all things Richard Rohr, trying new vegetarian recipes, and watching documentaries.
