Meet The Leadership Members

Sheryl-Amber is an equity-focused nonprofit professional with over a decade of experience working across the education and nonprofit sectors, from implementation to infrastructure—a teacher by trade and organizer at heart, she uses a multidisciplinary approach in her work to build capacity and drive community-centric solutions that disrupt the cycle of systems-driven disparities in Philadelphia and beyond.

Native to Southwest Philadelphia, just blocks from world-renowned universities, Sheryl-Amber’s world was still in closer proximity to the county jails miles away. Early on, she made it her mission to fight for

 access and opportunity for children like her, beginning her career where she began her education—from within the classroom. At the heart of her work, she finds harmony between youth organizations’ strategy, practice and people–especially Black youth, students with exceptionalities, young mothers and systems-involved young people.

Aaron Campbell, founder and executive director of Urban Dream Chasers (Level Up Philly) and lead pastor of Antioch Christian Fellowship, has devoted over two decades to mentoring Philadelphia’s at-risk youth. This University of Pennsylvania alumnus bridges gaps between cultures as a proud African-American and Native-American, making significant contributions to native reservations nationwide. Recognized for his efforts, he‘s presented at the United Nations, amplifying Indigenous issues on a global stage.

As a Philadelphia Police Department chaplain, Campbell fosters critical dialogues between officers and the youth of high-risk neighborhoods, facilitating understanding and healing. He's comforted victims at the epicenters of national tragedies, his work drawing attention on both national television and radio.
