Alan Mclain is an advocate for discipleship and reaching the lost through a practical, guerilla warfare type spiritual method. Despite his many nonprofit roles the word neighbor has defined Alan Mclain's faith journey, social justice involvement, and personal life more than perhaps any other. As an 8 year resident of neglected communities in West Baltimore Alan has spent much of his energy building relationships with young people that many other adults and institutions have forgotten...and consistently walked with them over years. He has a Bachelors degree in Urban Sociology, a Master's degree in Nonprofit Management (both from Eastern University) and has taught various courses at both the University of Baltimore and Howard County Community College. His work has touched a variety of social issues including Education, Food Access, Mentoring, Community Organizing, Workforce Development, and Violence Prevention. He has found his vocational home as an Education and Workforce Specialist with ROCA Baltimore. He has authored an unpublished book named Beyond the Noise: Race, Community and Growth in West Baltimore. Alan is committed to a lifelong journey of recovery from sin, deep relationships, risk-taking for Jesus and aggressive basketball.
