Amidst all the changes happening in the world around us these last several weeks, we are happy to announce an exciting and positive change here at ALSO Youth: our new executive director, James Robinson! James joins ALSO with 20 years of non-profit and fundraising experience, which include his time as an executive director of Youth Pride, Inc., Rhode Island's only LGBTQ+ youth center, as well as many years of HIV/AIDS activism. Most recently, James served as the development director for De LaSalle Academy in Fort Myers, a school for children living with learning challenges. “We are thrilled to have someone with James’ experience, passion, and lifetime involvement working with nonprofits to lead our organization,” ALSO Youth Board President, Mary Tavarozzi said. “We have ambitious plans to continue our growth and outreach into both [Sarasota and Manatee] counties, and we believe James is ideally suited for the role.”
