Jason M. Clark, esq.
Jason M. Clark is an attorney and education advocate. He spent nine years at the New York State Attorney General’s Office fighting for economic justice in historically marginalized communities and is Past President of the Metropolitan Black Bar Association.
As a graduate of The Bronx High School of Science, Jason is keenly aware of the opportunities that attending a New York City specialized high school created for him. Because of the headstart he received by matriculating at a specialized high school, he eventually went on to attend Princeton University where he received his Bachelor of Arts Degree in American History, and the University of Michigan Law School where he received his Juris Doctorate.
For Jason, DREAMChasers is about paying it forward.
