Project REAL's Executive Director Mike Kamer has been serving the mission of Project REAL since 2016. Mike's 10+ years of experience in program development & management have allowed Project REAL to significantly increase the number of students we serve and the number of tools available to serve them with.

Mike work began with Project REAL in March 2016, when he was hired as our Program Director. After spending the first three months learning Project REAL's offerings while finishing out the school year, he spent his first summer with us developing our organization's current model, the Sequential Education Program. This allowed the organization to more effectively serve students by creating multi-year planned interactions with them, increasing the likelihood that students would have at least one Project REAL experience each year. This approach - combined with a program redesign that worked to add 'field trip like memories' to every Project REAL experience students have - has led to our work having long-term impacts on student behavior, and increased their academic performance in the civics education topics we provide lessons for.

In his free time, Mike volunteers throughout the community, mentors our past employees and interns, and leads Nevada Nonprofit Network and it's Nerdy Nonprofit Nights - a social group for nonprofit professionals in Southern Nevada that aims to increase collaboration among our regions pubic service organizations.
