  Executive Director

  BELL provides evidence-based extended learning opportunities (After School and Summer) to scholars in the most under-resourced communities. In the Carolinas, we served nearly 4,000 scholars in summer 2016, and our scholars made on average 2 months gain in literacy. As executive director, I lead a team in the Carolinas devoted to increasing academic achievement and self-confidence of scholars who are typically not on grade level. We also work to increase family engagement in education. In this role, I develop contracts with school districts and individual schools and partner organizations to provide our academic focused program free of charge to families. I also am responsible for raising philanthropic dollars to support the program through grants, corporate giving, and individual donations. Show less
