John Wolfkill became the Executive Director of the Community College of Aurora Foundation (CCAF) in May 2016.
John completed his Master of Science degree in Education and Development at the University of Southern California and became keenly interested in community development. He worked as an urban planner for the Watts Labor Community Action Committee (Los Angeles, CA) and then became the associate director of the P.F. Bresee Foundation, a faith-based youth development center. He then served as the Director of Administration at the Tulsa Community Foundation, the largest community foundation in the country. Learning that only one percent of Tulsa’s African American and Hispanic youth were graduating from high school prepared to begin college without remediation, he left the foundation to become executive director of KIPP Tulsa, an open-enrollment college-preparatory, public charter school.
