CLIFF HANSEN

CAMP & YOUTH PROGRAM COORDINATOR

HE/HIM

Cliff Hansen is an author, illustrator, and animator. As a child, he was an avid viewer of Reading Rainbow and took LeVar Burton’s promise that books can take you anywhere very seriously. In addition to working with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library for a year as an Americorps VISTA volunteer, Cliff has worked with youth in places as far apart as the Marshall Islands, South Korea, and on a literal volcano in Cabo Verde. His goal is to help the next generation find their unique ways to shine and lead their best authentic lives on their own terms. Cliff designs books, makes 3d animations, and his short horror/suspense stories have been published in over two dozen anthologies.
