Kelly Green

Executive Director at Help Hope Live

Kelly L. Green joined Help Hope Live as its Executive Director in November 2017. The daughter of a transplant recipient, Kelly not only believes in the mission of Help Hope Live, but she once used the service and it “completely changed her life.” She feels honored and proud to lead an organization that provided hope and help to her family during her mother’s journey to transplant in 2007.

Kelly describes herself as a mother, a daughter of her hero, a battle-tested unifier, and a thought leader. She has more than 25 years of experience working in and leading nonprofit organizations and has dedicated her life to civic engagement.

In the last decade, Kelly has proudly served as the CEO of Variety – The Children’s Charity; Director of Montgomery County, PA Voters Services; and Deputy Director for the Institute for the Study of Civic Values in Philadelphia.

Her volunteer efforts are points of pride for Kelly. She launched an initiative to battle poverty throughout Philadelphia called Help Make Peace and has served as the President of the League of Women Voters. She currently serves on the Board of Thank A Vet and the Philadelphia Bar Association’s Judicial Selection Commission – and is a longtime supporter of Gift of Life Howie’s House, which provides lodging and support for families of transplant patients seeking treatment in Philadelphia.
