Who We Are

MONGO ALLEN, PRESIDENT

Mongo Allen is an author and film producer who has worked in mental health and education for over two decades. He has worked in hospital operations in the capacity of Director or Manager, utilizing his unique skillset of training employees to function in high stress job positions.

He has created strategies and methodologies which he has used to train hospitals and schools on becoming exceptional Hope Care Providers™. Mr. Allen trains employees to use faith as a key component in building hope in the lives of people who are suffering from mental illness, generational poverty, and at-risk conditions that keep them from being successful in life.

Prior to working in mental health, Mr. Allen began his educational career at one of Oklahoma’s toughest at-risk alternative charter schools where he held the title of Principal between 2000 to 2011. During his tenure at this educational facility, Mr. Allen witnessed an epidemic of gang affiliated students being killed in gang violence or ending up in prison.

This inspired Mr. Allen to create and produce the film “The List” as a resource to detour young people from the destructive lifestyle of gangs or gang-affiliated behavior. The documentary won KSBI a community service award for broadcasting.

Mr. Allen graduated from Southwestern Oklahoma State University with a bachelor degree in graphic art, and from the University of Central Oklahoma with a Masters degree in education. He also has a masters degree in Education Administration. Mr. Allen is an artist and author of two children’s books and is currently working on his third.
