LEADERSHIP
Sarah Key - Executive Director
Sarah is a lifelong Dallasite who has been serving our community professionally and as a volunteer since she was a kid. Her experience in the nonprofit sector ranges from providing healthcare to pediatric patients in India to reviving lost Spanish baroque music with local musicians and so much in between. She has volunteered in various LGBTQ and homeless service organizations, and she is excited to dive into the work Outlast Youth is doing to advocate for some of our most vulnerable. During the day, she will drive operational growth at OLY, and, in the evening, she will probably just continue to drive herself and her wife to Chuy's for the nacho bar and tacos every Tuesday.
