Overjoyed to introduce you to our new Development Manager! Josh Whitehead (they/them) is a North Carolina Native and graduate from NC State University. With a degree in Religious Studies, a passion for volunteering and a lifetime of Scouting experience, Josh always knew that they wanted to work in non-profit. In 2017, they were offered an opportunity to serve as District Executive with the Baltimore Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. Josh served in that position for thre...e years, managing thousands of volunteers and programs for an even larger number of youth. Josh was responsible for events and fundraising campaigns for hundreds of thousands of dollars each year. They learned many valuable lessons about fundraising during that time, but none resonated more than this: People will always support causes that they care about. And frankly, it is easier to sell something that you are passionate about. Josh loves to entertain and be entertained! They were the lead in three musicals in high school, blossoming a love for theatre. In college, they explored improv comedy, creative writing and script writing. Since then, they have begun doing stand-up comedy (and looking forward to seeing the comedy clubs in Atlanta). In Josh's spare time, they enjoy board games and Dungeons & Dragons. Josh and their partner, Catie, have two cats, Oates and Charlie, and an enormous St. Bernard named Fitzsimmons. You can contact Josh via email at [email protected] Welcome to the AWP Family Josh!
