Allison Lawrence

As a Program Coordinator at the Southeast Michigan site, Allison plans and facilitates programs and creates an engaging and welcoming environment for our members.

Allison graduated in 2015 with a bachelor’s in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics from The King’s College in NYC and moved to Michigan after graduation. She worked several summers at Springhill Day Camps before moving to Ann Arbor and joining the team at the Ann Arbor Hands-On Museum.

Through the years she’s seen how vital joyful play is for children (and adults!) from all walks of life. She has made it her mission to provide and protect that opportunity for all those who need it. Allison began volunteering at the Center when the Southeast site opened in 2024 and joined the team as a Program Coordinator a year later.
