While growing up in Broward County for most of her life, Haley Volcy took to music and the arts as her main form of expression, often finding influences through the bursting Miami Art district of Wynwood and through the over 10+ years of being a trumpet player.
In February of 2021 Haley decided that they needed to reincorporate art into their life. After they had been at Florida Gulf Coast University pursuing a degree in Psychology, she began volunteering at Alliance for the Arts as a way to be more involved within the community before completing her degree. After graduating from Florida Gulf Coast University in 2021 with a B.A. in Psychology, along with minors in Sociology and Race and Ethnic Studies, she was asked to be a part of the Alliance staff in March 2021 to be a Project Coordinator.
Jessica Kleffman brings many years of non-profit experience to the Education Coordinator role, in a wide variety of areas- from fundraising to youth development, yet her heart has always been in the Arts. Growing up the child of visual artists allowed many opportunities to explore the vast array of artistic avenues. In high school she discovered her passion for performing and chose to pursue a BFA in Musical Theatre from Syracuse University. She spent many years performing and directing for regional and community theaters in New York state and Indianapolis, while continuing to build a successful career in the non-profit world. Jessica strives to make a positive impact, no matter how small, with every person she encounters. This has proven especially crucial in the field of education, where showing a student you truly care can make a huge impact on their ultimate success.
Recently Jessica and her husband decided to make a huge life change and leave the snowy Midwest winters behind for sunny SWFL. In their spare time they enjoy exploring the area and trying dog-friendly cafes with their pups, Maisey and Coco. Jessica is incredibly grateful to have found the Alliance for the Arts and it is a dream come true to become part of the mission to transform lives and improve our community through the arts!

She then attended the University College London in England and earned her M. A. in Museum studies in 2017.

She believes in the power of art to challenge beliefs and open minds and she is excited to use her new position at the Alliance to elevate and amplify the work of artists that have been historically underrepresented in galleries and to help the local community engage critically with art.
