Alex Barker
Volunteer Manager and Operations Manager
Alex hails from southern West Virginia, where their love for animals blossomed as they rescued and cared for a wide range of creatures, from cats and dogs to squirrels, opossums, and even deer. With a natural inclination to help, Alex pursued a career in social work, dedicating their time to supporting and uplifting youth and young adults recovering from trauma. After serving as a Volunteer Coordinator for two years and earning a master’s degree, Alex discovered the perfect blend of their passions in the role of Volunteer Manager and Facility Coordinator at Second Chance. Excited to bring their creativity and enthusiasm to the team, Alex is eager to support volunteers and is always open to brainstorming innovative ideas to enhance the volunteer experience.
