For the past decade, he has worked to bridge the fields of leadership, college access, social justice, and mindfulness.

As a former trustee for the Center for Contemplative Mind in Society, he participated as a speaker at the Asia Pacific Forum on Holistic Education in Kyoto, Japan. Angel continues to consult for organizations like the NYC Department of Education, UNICEF, Columbia University, and others.
