Sally Prouty, President and CEO

Sally T. Prouty is the President and Chief Executive Officer of The Corps Network. 

Sally has 30 years’ experience in both the public and private sectors as well as in volunteer non-profit positions at the local, state, national and international levels.  She has worked extensively in health care, as a Registered Nurse and as an administrator, supervisor, and teacher in medical settings. 

Immediately before her appointment at The Corps Network in 2002, Sally served four years as Deputy Director Department of Natural Resources (ODNR) and seven years as Director of the Ohio Civilian Conservation Corps (OCCC), a division of ODNR, operating two residential and six non-residential programs statewide. 

Under Sally’s leadership, OCCC enrolled both middle class young men and women in a traditional Conservation Corps model and also unemployed young adults in a program focused on conservation based service-learning and youth development.  In 2000, the Department of Labor recognized OCCC as one of ten effective youth initiatives in the nation, and in 2002 the Annie E. Casey Foundation recognized OCCC as “one of the premier youth programs in the nation” for effectively serving youth exiting the juvenile justice system.  

Currently, Sally is co-chair of the national Campaign for Youth.  She also serves on the Board of Directors of the National Youth Employment Coalition.
