Leadership & Governance

Small, accountable and mission-driven.

EBI presents the people who hold active leadership or governance roles rather than using a large public team roster for appearance.

Founder & Executive Director

Rev. Judith M. Alcazar

Rev. Judith M. Alcazar is a domestic violence advocate, educator, ordained minister, and nonprofit founder with more than 15 years of advocacy and community-support experience. As Founder and Executive Director of Empowered Bridge Institute, she works to expand access to domestic violence education, prevention resources, and learning opportunities for individuals and families.

Her educational work emphasizes survivor awareness, accountability, healthy relationships, and the effects of domestic violence on children, families, and communities. EBI develops independent educational materials for community members and justice-impacted learners, including people experiencing incarceration.

Rev. Alcazar is registered as a SUDRC-I and is continuing her substance use disorder counselor education through UC San Diego Extended Studies. This registration and ongoing training should not be confused with independent clinical licensure.

Education creates understanding. Understanding encourages accountability. Accountability creates opportunities for change.
