Who We Are
Meet Dr. Dallas M. Stout
For someone who decided to go to college at the last minute during his senior year in high school, Dr. Stout has made quite a name for himself. He grew up in a racially diverse suburb of Los Angeles County. Many of the youth that he attended public school with did not attend college. Dallas takes his opportunity seriously. Today he is known as a renowned educator, nonprofit consultant, and mental health advocate with over 30 years of experience in youth development, substance abuse prevention and treatment, gang and violence prevention, as well as community leadership.
As co-founder of DoctorS Nonprofit Consulting, Dr. Stout has helped nonprofits design impactful programs, secure funding, and drive real change. He serves as a member of the faculty at California State University, Fullerton, Brigham Young University-Idaho, and the University of Arizona Global Campus, where he teaches undergrad and graduate courses in child and adolescent development, psychology, addictions, human services, and nonprofit leadership.
A recipient of numerous awards, including the Vision Initiative Program Award (2022) and the Fullerton Kindness Award (2019), Dr. Stout is a sought-after speaker and media contributor. He continues to serve his community as a volunteer Chaplain for the Fullerton Police Department and an advisor on law enforcement and youth as well as young adult initiatives.
From the classroom to the boardroom, Dr. Stout is committed to empowering communities, mentoring future leaders, and advocating for a better future.
