Dan Sehlhorst joined ODA in 2020. He has worked with education and advocacy nonprofits since he was a freshman in high school, when he co-founded a tennis program for youth in his hometown. Since then, he has worked in program management, development, and operations roles for organizations in Indiana, Virginia, Colorado, and now Cleveland. 

Dan is a graduate of the University of Notre Dame, where he studied political science and economics with a certificate in public service. 

When Dan is not on the job, you might find him on a hiking trail, a soccer pitch, or a tennis court. Otherwise, he is likely at home cooking with one hand and reading a book in another!  

“Be the kind of person who not only understands the injustices of this life, but is also willing to do something about them.” -Fr. Theodore Hesburgh, 1986
