Hillary Jones, M.Ed., H.D., is an educator and capacity‑builder who supports state, organizational, and program‑level leaders across the afterschool, summer, and expanded learning landscape. She provides training, technical assistance, and coaching that strengthens program quality, deepens instructional practice, and build systems that help young people thrive. Her work centers on equity, belonging, and the power of well‑designed learning environments to transform outcomes for youth and families.
Before coming to Foundations, Hillary led out‑of‑school time programs for The Salvation Army and taught Spanish, English, and ESL in Camden, NJ. Her experience as both a classroom teacher and OST program leader grounds her approach in practical wisdom, cultural responsiveness, and a deep belief in the potential of every learner. Fluent in English and Spanish, she brings a passion for language, literacy, and cross‑cultural connection to all of her work.
Outside of her professional life, Hillary loves being outdoors—hiking and camping whenever she can. She is also the proud owner of a certified therapy dog, and together they visit hospitals, schools, and community centers to bring comfort, connection, and joy to others.
