Anthony Lucchino

Starting my career as a teacher allowed me to see the impact high-quality learning environments can have on student achievement. Working in philanthropy gives me the opportunity to help support the growth of direct service organizations and build the enabling conditions to ensure all children have access to quality educational experiences that unlock their potential.
