Director of Outreach and Engagement, Christen Johnson
Christen Johnson serves as the Director of Outreach and Engagement for Philadelphia Futures, a nonprofit organization that supports low-income, first-generation-to-college students in their pursuit of a degree. She earned her Master of Education in Teaching, Learning and Leadership from the University of Pennsylvania and holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English from the University of Michigan. Prior to her work in Philadelphia, she taught middle and high school in her hometown of Detroit, Michigan.
