Damien Scott’s time with Urban Alchemy began after serving a 27-year prison sentence. He entered incarceration at the age of 18, and he left with a deep desire to to be or do something that would make a difference in people’s lives. His journey led him to Urban Alchemy, because of the organization’s commitment to connecting with people living on the margins of society. He started out on the Skid Row Clean team, where he demonstrated a desire and ability to lead. He was quickly promoted to a supervisor and rose through the ranks. He now serves as Director of Operations for all of Los Angeles. Every day, Damien tells his team members that he loves them – and he means it – because he believes everyone should be more comfortable with expressing love.
