Executive Director

The Aloha Foundation Board of Trustees is pleased to announce the appointment of Holly Morehouse as the organization’s next Executive Director, effective December 14, 2026.

Morehouse brings more than 20 years of experience leading organizations, developing partnerships, and creating opportunities for young people to learn, grow, and discover their capabilities. Her career reflects a belief we know well at the Alohas: that young people thrive when they are trusted with meaningful choices, encouraged to take on challenges, and given a voice in the communities around them.

As the founding Executive Director of Vermont Afterschool, Morehouse spent 13 years building an organization that became a nationally recognized leader in youth development. Working closely with afterschool programs, summer camps, and other youth programs, she helped strengthen the organizations and the people responsible for creating valuable experiences for young people. Her work also helped expand opportunities for youth participation and leadership across Vermont. Among her accomplishments was working with young people to establish the Vermont State Youth Council, giving them a direct voice in decisions affecting their lives.

Most recently, Morehouse served as Vice President for Community Impact at the Vermont Community Foundation, where she worked with donors, nonprofit organizations, and community leaders to connect resources with opportunities across the state. That experience, together with her years of executive leadership, brings a broad understanding of what it takes to sustain and strengthen a mission-driven organization. She will join an accomplished team of directors and staff who bring extraordinary experience and commitment to the daily work of Aloha’s camps and programs.
