Clarke Reeves was a program manager for New America’s Fellows Program. His work included managing the day-to-day operations of the program, supporting the Fellows in the development and execution of internal programming and public events, providing general support to the annual Fellows Program selection process, and assisting in the management of the Fellows’ networks and the communication of progress made toward the completion of the various fellowship projects.
Prior to joining New America, Reeves worked as the programs and development manager at Seeds of Peace, an international, youth leadership-development organization. In his programmatic role, Reeves created and led intensive experiential learning trips to the Middle East with a strong focus on U.S. foreign and domestic policy, Middle Eastern political history, multiple narratives, and contemporary conflict analysis. He also designed, facilitated, and produced seminars and workshops with the goal of enabling participants to become change agents as they seek to effect systemic social and political change.
As a member of the development staff at Seeds of Peace, he planned, managed, and executed annual fundraising and engagement events. These included both young professional events and the annual spring benefit dinner, the latter of which raised over one million dollars annually. He also created and managed multiple volunteer and fundraising groups to engage young professionals in the organization’s mission, successfully implementing a new volunteer model.
Reeves graduated with a B.A. in international development and social change from Clark University in 2010, where he interned in Windhoek, Namibia. He is originally from the New Haven, Conn. area.
