Allison Jones’s Summary

I am a passionate young professional committed to educational equality. From years of working in a variety of educational settings--from classrooms in charter schools to correctional programs and South African townships--my professional experience includes educational project design and implementation, curriculum development, fundraising, and program management.

I am also dedicated to strengthening the nonprofit sector by not only learning more about the challenges the field faces, but also by providing solutions. I am actively engaging the next generation of non profit leaders through my blog, Entry Level Living while working closely with current leaders on better shaping the image of nonprofits.

I am eager to connect with people who share my passion for educational equality and my desire to acquire and sharpen the skills necessary to thrive in the nonprofit sector.
