Arthur earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Sports Management from the University of Louisville. He has served as numerous youth development committees and coalitions within the community and is trained in outcomes, Youth Quality Assessment Programs, and nonprofit leadership.

Walter Murrah realized early on that if change was going to happen anywhere in the world, in his community, or in his life, that change had to happen within him.

Walter is now bringing that change to St. George’s Scholar Institute as the new Program Director.

Walter brings over 10 years of marketing, media, and management experience to the table with a primary focus on youth programming and community building. His passion is fueled by seeing young people recognize the beauty of their dreams and helping to fuel their fire in any way he can. In his spare time, Murrah enjoys spending time with his family, traveling, and DJs around Louisville at community events, festivals, and schools. This man knows no strangers!

Whitney has an extensive history working with youth, starting her career as a volunteer with the church nursery, and going on to becoming a leader in the church youth group.

Whitney has a true passion for helping children learn and thrive so that they can become healthy successful adults. She believes children are the most engaging and most intriguing audiences you can work with. They have the same rights to culture as adults, but their circumstances create challenges that can only be met with determination, creativity and integrity. In her free time, Whitney loves spending time with her daughter, Cecelia, and spending time with friends and family.
