Ali Stevenson

Board member - President

Ali is the Communications Manager at Midcoast Conservancy. She worked at Poets & Writers in New York City, as the editor of Maine in Print at Maine Writers & Publishers Alliance, as a therapeutic horseback riding instructor, a crew coach, and was a foster parent for many years.  She majored in Creative Writing and Religious Studies at Brown University. When not at work, she tries to be outside hiking, paddling, sailing, snowshoeing or camping with her husband Ken, three dogs, and whichever one of her five kids is around.  Ali is grateful to be on the board because the magic of Hearty Roots speaks to her belief that every kid needs to know that they are enough, and that they have everything they need within themselves. The counselors and programs that are the heart and soul of Hearty Roots reveal kids to themselves and offer a path to self-esteem and a sense of place in the world. We all need hearty roots to thrive!
