Who is Alexandria?
Alexandria Warrick Adams, Executive Director of Elev8 Baltimore, has over eighteen years of non-profit experience in education and youth development. After moving to Baltimore, Ms. Warrick Adams gained experience working with parents as part of the Fresh Start Initiative, providing workforce development training and support to TANF recipients. After joining the Educational Initiatives team at East Baltimore Development Inc., she worked closely with the Senior Director to finalize and submit the application that would become Elev8 Baltimore. Following the contract approval of East Baltimore Community School (currently Henderson Hopkins), she worked closely on the school’s opening, including principal selection, student recruitment, operational procedures, and student/parent engagement.
In 2012, Alex brought her experiences to the Family League of Baltimore to her position as Community Resource Schools Program Manager. She was instrumental in deepening the organization’s approach to community school engagement, professional development, and middle and high school programmatic interventions during her tenure. In 2015, she returned to Elev8 Baltimore as the director and has grown the OST program to serve more students and partner with new communities. Under the direction of Ms. Warrick Adams, Elev8 Baltimore transitioned from a division of Humanim to an independent 501 (c) 3 non-profit organization. She serves on several steering committees and boards to further advance outcomes for Baltimore’s children, youth, and communities of color. Alex received her bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Studies and a Certificate in Black Studies from Portland State University (Portland, Oregon). Her postgraduate studies are in Public History. She is the mother to two adult children.
