Chicago, IL
Director of Education & Youth Development - Greater Auburn Gresham Development Corp
Ray has worked in a range of professional capacities for respected Chicago-area social service agencies and educational institutions including Uhlich Children’s Home (UCAN), Lawrence Hall Youth Services, University of Illinois at Chicago, Perspectives Charter Schools, Chicago Public Schools and Greater Auburn Gresham Community Development Organization. He earned a BA in sociology (w/distinction) from University of Illinois at Chicago and MA from University of Chicago’s School of Service Administration (Crown School) with specializations in community development, education policy and youth development. Though institutionally prepared and accomplished, he learned early that sustainable solutions to marginalized community challenges exist within the people, associations and organizations in those communities.
