Shawheem Dowdy

Program Manager

Mr. Dowdy was born in the US Virgin Islands on the island of St. Croix until the age of six when he moved to Baltimore Maryland. While living in Baltimore where things were not always easy he did not let that determine his upbringing and shape his future. Mr. Dowdy went to Virginia Union University where he played football all 4 years and joined the mental health field. He was a QMHP since 2019 and is now a Program Manager here at Opportunities For A Better Tomorrow. When outside of being a Program manager and assisting clients in the field Mr. Dowdy enjoys coaching the youth. He took time to coach Highschool baseball and recreation youth football. When he is not giving back to the community by assisting clients he is giving back in another way by coaching the youth.
