Back to the 2026 cohort

Evan Kearney

Evan Kearney is a Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory student with interests in community service, technology, and the performing arts. His background includes organizing donation drives, neighborhood cleanups, and public-safety discussions, alongside theater and production work. These experiences have given him opportunities to practice communication, collaboration, and bringing people together around local needs.

For his independent project, Evan researched food insecurity and worked toward a resource explaining the issue and the support available. He conducted interviews, gathered different perspectives, and narrowed the project’s scope as he learned how to manage an unfamiliar research assignment. The resource was still in development at the end of the summer.

Evan’s startup immersion was with Astraea, which works on clinical-trial data workflows. He also supported community outreach and event activities during the summer, continuing his interest in how civic work and technology can serve San Francisco.
