King County Parks is proud to celebrate Zeinab Al-mohanawy, recently honored by the King County Council as one of this year’s Ruth Woo Emerging Leaders Fellows.
During her yearlong fellowship, Zeinab worked with Parks staff on community engagement and public policy projects, helping strengthen the connections between our parks and the people they serve.
“I want to be someone in my community that’s reflective of my community and its diversity, and really drive change for the next generation that’s coming up,” Zeinab shared. “Leadership is not just about policy, but about relationship-building — showing that you care, that you want to listen, and that you’re here to support.”
The Ruth Woo Emerging Leaders Fellowship is a one-year, paid, full-time position with King County. The program provides individuals from historically underrepresented communities the chance to explore careers in public service across multiple departments.
Named for civic leader Ruth Woo, who dedicated her life to mentoring diverse leaders in government, the fellowship continues her legacy by investing in the next generation of community-centered leadership
