Stephanie S. Moore

Stephanie started her career as a high school teacher. She recognized that ensuring all students have opportunities to thrive required services beyond what could be provided in the classroom and, in response, has focused her career on the design, implementation, and evaluation of out-of-school-time programming that promotes holistic positive youth development. She has worked for community organizations in Chicago and Detroit, as well as universities, and is committed to making university resources accessible to young people and their families. Her years of work with Children’s Defense Fund Freedom Schools have been particularly transformative and inform her commitment to education that is empowering, culturally relevant, and joyful.

Stephanie earned her Ph.D. from the U-M Combined Program in Education and Psychology, MA from the University of Chicago, and BA from Wake Forest University.
