Jeff Dawsey
Founder of NeighborsHood
Born in Dothan, Alabama, and raised in the Sunset Village inner city in Crestview, Florida, Jeff Dawsey encountered Jesus and experienced a radical life change at 18 years old after a troubled past that included destructive choices and a lack of direction.
Through the Bible, God redirected Jeff’s life toward purpose, leading him into ministry and a commitment to show up for others.
Jeff is a military veteran, a graduate of Trinity College of Jacksonville, and was recognized as Volunteer of the Year last year at both the school and district levels for his work in local schools.
Over the years, Jeff has been in more than 30 schools across multiple states and three continents, impacting tens of thousands of students.
Jeff’s story and work have been featured in multiple publications and an award-winning short documentary.
