Shift Series Conference,

Allison Alt

Public service professional and attorney with more than 10 years experience working with all sectors to create social impact on behalf of low-income and vulnerable populations. I train the next generation of socially conscious business leaders and lead the 1st and only youth-led movement for business for good nationwide. I have acted as an organizational representative on policy and program matters, developed coalitions, garnered resources and support, and built up non-profit programming for marginalized communities. My issue area expertise spans community development, workforce development, poverty alleviation, youth development, and education. I am skilled in philanthropy, non-profit programming, corporate social responsibility, partnerships, grant portfolio management, employee engagement and volunteerism, writing, public speaking, outreach, policy, law, training, and communications. I bring a powerful mix of federal policy experience, legal expertise, direct-service, program, and advocacy experience for and on behalf of children and older adults in poverty and have worked effectively across party lines and coalitions with state and national partners, having built my own programming and organizations for at-risk youth since the age of 16. My vision is one in which we use our collective power to uplift humanity through civic engagement and service, creating a better world for all.
