Alexis Allegra
I have 20 years of experience in the non-profit sector as a direct service worker, program director, administrator and now consultant; resulting in a broad set of non-profit management skills. I spent over a decade moving through the leadership tract at Teen Living Programs (now Ignite), an organization on the south side of Chicago serving youth who have experienced homelessness and worked in several other child welfare organizations in Detroit and NYC before making my home in Chicago.
I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from the University of Michigan, a Master’s Degree in Psychology from the New School University and a Master’s certificate in Human Development from National Louis University. In recent years I have held roles as the Co-Chair of the program committees of Chicago Women in Philanthropy and the Association of Consultants to Nonprofits, as well as, the Vice President of the Associate Board of Chicago Scholars. I live in the Ukrainian Village neighborhood of Chicago with my husband and also teach Group Fitness part-time.
