A New PCU Coordinator for Orange County
Progressive Christians Uniting has just hired Pamela Reed Allison as our coordinator for PCU Orange County. With her great skills and passionate commitment, we are excited to have her on board and look forward to exciting developments in Orange County!
Pam is a graduate of Biola University, where she studied Christian Education and Counseling. She also studied Political Science on the American Studies Program in Washington, D.C., looking at Federal drug policy, Apartheid in South Africa and the political/religious conflict in Northern Ireland. In addition to her position at PCU, she is the Community Relations Coordinator for Project HOPE School in Orange, CA, which serves children (K-8) living in motels and homeless shelters. She is on the Board of Directors of a forming social service agency, OC Together, which endeavors to unite the county to assist and empower at-risk residents in their move toward self-sufficiency. She is an ordained Elder in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) and has a heart for social justice issues. She is passionate about issues that address the economic stability of U.S. workers — namely a living wage and access to affordable health care. She is charged with reaching Progressive Christians in Orange County to provide opportunities for study, activism, connection and encouragement as we seek to live out daily Christ’s mandate to love our neighbors as ourselves.
