Professional Bio
At 24 years old, Alexander Kovarovic is the national One Life Project Executive Director and Founder and leads the volunteer and employee teams. After his own battle with mental health, self esteem, a suicide attempt, and a self harming addiction, Alex moved on to get help and started the nonprofit when he was seventeen to assist others who were going through similar things he was going through. In 2018, a social media post Alex posted went viral and was shared 38.5 million times which drove a large amount of traffic to the nonprofit and was really the start of our continued success. Alex is the author of two books and is a traveling motivational speaker at schools, colleges, and other events. Alex is also the founder of Our Colors United, an online social movement that works to advocate for LGBTQ+ youth and adults. He currently attends Arizona State University online as he pursues a Bachelors degree in Human Rights and Social Justice. With his quick success, Alex has won numerous awards including Investigation Discovery’s Inspire a Difference Award and the National Awesome Award. He’s been featured on MTV News, ABC News and Investigation Discovery.
