Alicia Park

As an Education Specialist, I support out-of-school time (OST) programs nationwide through professional learning, project management, and technical assistance. I lead projects from planning through completion, coordinating timelines, deliverables, and communication to ensure strong outcomes for partners and educators. I design and facilitate engaging professional development—both virtual and in-person—for audiences ranging from small staff teams to large-scale conferences. My work includes maintaining LMS platforms and digital learning tools, analyzing program data to measure impact, and developing curriculum resources and training modules with the Office of Professional Learning (OPL) team. Across all projects, I collaborate with schools, districts, and community organizations to expand high-quality learning opportunities for youth beyond the school day.
