	Victor Cooper, MS, MAR, President Victor Cooper, holds a BS and MS in management and a MAR in Biblical Studies from Westminster Seminary, and currently is an adjunct professor at Rosemont and Gwynedd Mercy colleges. Since 1996, he has been in leadership at True Light Fellowship Church in Philadelphia including Director of Missions, Associate Pastor of Missions and Associate Pastor of Christian Education and Adult School of Biblical Studies. After 14 years as a NJ State Trooper, Victor spent five years as Director of Facility and Stadium Security for the Philadelphia Eagles. UFC is blessed to have Victor assume the leadership of UFC.	Alonzo Johnson, BS, Educator Alonzo Johnson connects with urban youth on many levels. As a native North Philadelphian he understands the mindset of today’s youth and knows first-hand the conditions they encounter daily. He is a powerful communicator who serves with humility and vigor. Alonzo’s schedule is full as he fulfills the roles of Youth Pastor at Germantown Christian Assembly, part-time educator for UFC and father of five.	Jill Page, MMT, Specialized Services Director Jill has served UFC since 1991. Her faithfulness to the cause of building healthy families and her devotion to children and teens is evident as she teaches in schools and churches; trains new staff, designs new programs, and assists with fundraising efforts. Jill especially enjoys working with small groups because of the opportunity to build relationships and connect with teens on a more personal level.
	Gail Faulkner, MS, (TOD), Grant Writer Gail is a pro at writing grants. She understands the needs of urban youth and families and seeks funding from sources that have the same heart for the city as UFC. Although money is important to fulfill our mission, Gail knows that’s not the only thing we’re after. UFC is about the business of reaching hearts and minds and ensuring a safe and healthy future for the next generation.	Tosha Kenion, Educator Although Tosha has worked in various fields throughout her career, her passion is teaching and working with women and children. As a UFC educator, opportunities abound to teach youth and adults about the healthy types of love, dating & relationships via UFCs programs like Moving Ahead with Purpose, Growing Up Takes Time and Why Am I Tempted? (WAIT Training). Tosha’s compassion and motherly instincts touch students’ hearts and help build bridges to communication.	Mike Sturdivant, Manager, Education Mike has a passion for helping children. As a UFC educator, he is in the midst of children from grades K-12 and is able to interact and minister to each with the love of Christ. Some say Mike is a real clown, and he is just that as he dons his lovable “Little Lou” costume at conferences and assemblies. His magnetic personality draws a happy crowd every time.
	Maggie Gallo, BFA, Graphic Communications Coordinator Since Maggie joined UFC in 1995, she has worn many different hats each with the same goal: to inform the public about the life-affirming services UFC provides to youth and families in Philadelphia and beyond. She uses her graphic design skills to create informational, marketing and fundraising materials, including this website.	Tad Mahan, BS, Director of Development In 2000 Tad moved from his businesses and UFC Board membership to staff fundraiser. His modest administrative and relational skills brought stability to UFC finances, in good times and bad. He trusts that the Lord will continue to bless UFC’s mission for urban families, as He has for over 25 years.	Carla Wertz, Public Relations Carla came to UFC as an intern in January 2008, staying on fulltime upon graduation in June that same year. Although her public relations and copywriting skills are invaluable, her greatest asset is her willingness to serve. Carla single-handedly launched UFC's first Silent Auction which was a great success. Thanks, Carla! Keep up the good work.
	Brady Goodwin, Educator Brady Goodwin, co-founder of the Grammy Award-winning Christian rap/recording ministry The Cross Movement, has traveled the US and abroad for fourteen years speaking to youth and young adults about the integration of faith and culture while earning a Bachelor's Degree from Lancaster Bible College in the Science of the Bible and Pastoral Ministry. Brady serves UFC in the Youth-Net Center at Olney High School teaching character formation to youth and young adults.	Whitney Monn, BA, Educator Whitney felt a call early to work with urban youth. After a temporary move to the Bronx, NYC developing and administering Bible clubs for local children, she heard about the work Urban Family Council was doing in Philadelphia and pursued an internship. In January 2009, Whitney became a full-time educator with UFC. Daily Whitney engages her students in discussion of the issues they struggle with and helps them think them through to a healthy logical end.
