Whitney Parnell grew up between Latin America and West Africa as the daughter of a Foreign Service Officer. At Washington University in St. Louis, Whitney embraced her calling as a “professional humanitarian.” Whitney’s passion for service and social justice brought her to Washington, D.C. to serve with the Americorps Program, City Year. After two years of service, Whitney worked in homeless services, which included creating her organization’s Community Engagement Program, and managing the Street Outreach program. Whitney is excited to create a movement of service and allies through Service Never Sleeps by igniting quick social change through mass civic engagement.
