Director of Education Initiatives
Jun 2018 — Present · Chicago, IL, US
Damien Howard joins Together Chicago as the Director of Education Initiatives. With over 12 years of experience in the education sector, Damien provides a unique perspective on the issues facing children, teacher, and families in disinvested communities. Damien cares deeply about urban education reform and launched Clever Characters (now SEL-Plus) with four teenagers from Crane High School with the hopes to enhance educational efforts in the Near West neighborhood. The organization now serves K-12 students on the South and West sides of Chicago offering programs focused on social, emotional, and character development to help students in all aspects of their lives.\"
