Phillip Young
@phillipyoung
Community Projects Consultant focused on equitable access to resources.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Community Projects Consultant with extensive experience in enhancing equity in access to quality educational resources, health services, and employment assistance. My journey began with a strong foundation in project management, where I founded Project Empire, developing sustainable public assistance programs that have significantly impacted communities in need.
Throughout my career, I have successfully written grants with a 71% success rate in Los Angeles County and have collaborated with management executives to increase patient traffic and profit margins in medical facilities. My commitment to community development is evident in my work at Stanford University, where I managed wellness programs that achieved an 800% revenue increase, showcasing my ability to drive results and foster partnerships that benefit diverse populations.
As I continue to grow in my career, I am passionate about creating innovative solutions that address the needs of at-risk youth and marginalized communities. I believe in the power of strategic networks and comprehensive service planning to create lasting change and improve the quality of life for individuals and families.
