McGhee joins Sprout with more than twenty-eight years of experience in the human services field in the United States and abroad. He led another nonprofit in the Philippines and, prior to joining South Peninsula Behavioral Health Services, he was executive director of Resources for the Blind International, where he developed an early intervention preschool for visually impaired children.
“What I’m most excited about is leading a dynamic organization that has been both influential and life changing in our community,” McGhee states. “My goal is to be able to continue those services and possibly more for the years still yet to come.”
Established in 1987, Sprout uses a lens of trauma- and healing-informed care to meet families as they are, partnering to ensure that all children are valued and nurtured.
