Vice President of Teen Initiatives

Boys & Girls Club of Collier County

A Naples native, Alex Breault is the vice president of Teen Initiatives at the Boys & Girls Club of Collier County, or BGCCC. She also works with the FutureMakers Coalition, or FMC, as its partnership manager to help further the agency’s goal of ensuring adults in SWFL have high-quality credentials to fill the workforce gaps in the area.

“The best advice I ever received was ‘Learn how to be comfortable with being uncomfortable.’ To me, this meant asking those difficult questions everyone wants to ask but does not,” she says. “I want to apply that to help serve more students and families in our region, to ensure they have an understanding of local career opportunities and have the skills and the knowledge to create a plan or have an idea on how to reach their full potential.”

On top of her work, Breault serves on the Early Learning Coalition of SWFL Board and Taste of Immokalee Board, is chair of the CCPS NAF Advisory Board and is a member of FGCU’s Advisory Board for PAGES Program. She is also a member of the Child’s Path Advisory Board and serves as a co-chair for committees with FMC and Future Ready Collier.
