Maximizing with Michelle: Justin Clark, Executive Director of The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs of Charleston, West Virginia

Justin Clark is the Executive Director of The Salvation Army Boys & Girls Clubs of Charleston, West Virginia. Justin moved to the Mountain State in May of 2021 and led the process of reopening the Clubs to in-person programming following a 15-month COVID-19 related closure. During his tenure, the Clubs have been recognized at the state and national level for successes in programming and advocacy, have significantly increased revenue, and are on track to exceed pre-COVID attendance levels in the fall of 2023.

 

Justin, a first-generation college student, obtained his Master of Public Administration degree with a concentration in nonprofit management in May 2023. He looks forward to pursuing a doctoral degree in the future. When he isn’t at work Justin can be found spending time with his family, attempting to perfect his biscuit recipe, or enjoying a book on the front porch.

 

Justin & his wife Anne Marie enjoy the peace and quiet around Kanawha State Forest where they live with their sons, Asher (6) and Simeon (4) along with Anne Marie’s grandmother, Dora.
