F3 Innovate Welcomes Mandy Breuer

F3 Innovate (F3i) is thrilled to welcome Mandy Breuer to our growing team as the new Director of Talent Programs. With more than two decades of experience leading cutting-edge educational programs, Mandy brings a deep commitment to transforming how young people engage with sustainability, climate-smart agriculture, and innovation. In her role, she will spearhead the design and launch of talent development programs—including fellowships, internships, and youth engagement opportunities—that will empower the next generation of ag-tech leaders in the Central Valley and beyond.

A longtime advocate for environmental education and community empowerment, Mandy most recently served as the founding principal of Golden Charter Academy in Fresno. Her background spans school leadership roles across California, where she built high-performing counseling, academic, and environmental programs. At F3 Innovate, Mandy will be instrumental in helping build and scale new pipelines of talent and opportunity, aligned with the organization’s mission to advance inclusive agrifood technology and economic development. Her expertise in integrating education, workforce, and community systems will be key to supporting the future of sustainable agriculture and innovation.

We are excited to have Mandy on board as we continue to grow F3 Innovate and bring to life a new model for education, equity, and innovation here in California’s Central Valley.
