Visionary Leadership Roots
Corey Ellis
Co-Founder
Corey Ellis brings to Positive Reflections Youth Services a deep history of working directly with young people and their families. Years spent as an educator, coach, and mentor in Virginia exposed Corey to the challenges youth face when a program offers little more than supervision. This realization shaped a vision for something better: a youth-centered organization that places relationship-building, life skills, and confidence at the forefront. For Corey, every decision and every program must serve as a stepping stone toward lifelong success for every participant - regardless of background. His approach emphasizes collaboration with families, schools, and community leaders, ensuring solutions that are inclusive and adaptable. Corey's unwavering belief in the power of mentorship and his commitment to professional excellence have guided Positive Reflections ever since its founding. His leadership continues to inspire staff, partners, and most of all, the youth who find belonging and hope within the organization.
