About J. Coley Alston
As Program Director at Hugh Lane Wellness Foundation, I plan, implement, evaluate, and supervise various programs for LGBTQIA2S+ communities, focusing on organizational capacity building, training and culture change, youth and family services, HIV care management, and tangible goods disbursement. I have over 4 years of experience in this role, and I hold a Master of Public Health (MPH) degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Public Health. I am a national expert in advancing the human rights and reproductive justice of LGBTQ people. I have a demonstrated history of serving systemically exploited populations. I am skilled in customer success, project management, professional and community training, mental and sexual health education, grant writing, strategic planning, and community based participatory research. I have also been recognized as an inaugural member of the Lorde-Baldwin Leadership Institute, and I have presented at the CenterLink 2020 V-Summit.
