SOUTH BEND COMMUNITY
SCHOOL CORPORATION

 I’ve been a part of the Boys and Girls Clubs all my life. I grew up as a club kid. After graduating high school in 2010 I began working at Club. I’ve worked as a YDP, as a Team Lead and now a Club Director. My goal is to open up my own club one day. My goal for our club this year is to be recognized as the best all around club in St. Joseph County with our families, staff and partnerships. 

Hello! My name is Jess Alexander.  My team and I are excited to start this journey and meet you all! 

This school year will be my third year as a Club Director at Boys & Girls Clubs. I spent two full school years at Nuner Fine Arts Academy in South Bend. I love my job because of the families I get to see everyday + I am committed to making a positive impact! 

I graduated from Indiana University South Bend in May 2020 with a Bachelor’s in Special Education with a Concentration in Early Childhood Development. I love working with children and seeing their potential bloom.
