Nathan Sweasey

Nathan brings a strong background in social work and restorative justice to his role at Youth ALIVE! Originally from Central California, Nathan began his career working with nonprofits in San Luis Obispo, where he supported survivors of domestic violence and facilitated restorative justice groups in jails and prisons. These experiences inspired him to pursue a Master of Social Work (MSW) degree, with the goal of deepening his ability to support individuals impacted by trauma and violence.

At Youth ALIVE!, Nathan’s work focuses on providing accessible, trauma-informed care to individuals transitioning back into their communities. He values the opportunity to meet individuals where they are—both physically and emotionally—and to foster healing in real-world environments outside the constraints of traditional therapeutic settings.

Nathan is an avid beach volleyball player and surfer. He also enjoys exploring California’s coastlines and sharing his love of the ocean with others.
