Marques Clark
Manager
Investor Relations
Marques serves on the Investor Relations team and supports the work of the Economic Mobility team. He is currently supporting Future of Work Grand Challenge activities, writing grant reports, providing support and resources to social entrepreneurs and organizations, and conducting research on ways to strengthen career pathways programs.
Marques has a deep passion for workforce development and education-to-career pathways. In his previous roles as a grant writer he raised over $2M in federal and state dollars. He has managed grant programs under the Department of Labor and the Department of Education including a Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) grant program for low-income youth who face barriers.
Marques loves implementing non-traditional student engagement strategies. In graduate school, he began conducting research on how art, fashion, media, and other elements of pop culture can be used as student engagement and retention tools. Shortly after, he started writing lookbooks—visual guides that feature practical information in an Instagram-like format. New Profit’s values on proximity, equity, and systems change led him to join the organization.
