Logan Henderson,
Development Manager

Logan is a 2016 graduate of Northern Illinois University. He gained his teaching license in the state of Illinois in 2021, and in the process discovered his passion for equitable education and resources. Paying particular mind to the intersectionality of identity, Logan delved deep into supporting his LGBTQ+ students during his time in education by ensuring the availability of resources, including books, health, and wellness resources for queer youth. A believer in the power of student voice, Logan also ensured that students were equipped with the resources and know-how to advocate for themselves.

Joining the Lion’s Pride Mentoring team in February of 2023, Logan translated this passion for equity into preparing alumni of our mentoring program for the workforce as well as developing community-centric, equitable, and sustainable fundraising strategies for the organization. Logan believes that all of our work, whether it be fundraising, mentoring, facilitating workshops, or other important initiatives, must always be grounded in the principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
