     Malaak Compton-Rock has dedicated her life’s work to non-profit organizations. Her early work was with The United Nations Children’s Fund which inspired her to found two non-profit organizations: styleWORKS and The Angelrock Project.StyleWORKS is an organization which provides comprehensive mentoring to women moving from welfare dependency to economic self-sufficiency.
    
  The Angelrock Project, which was founded by Malaak Compton-Rock in 2008, is an online village that promotes volunteerism, social responsibility, and sustainable change. The website, www.angelrockproject.com, encourages and facilitates volunteerism through monthly profiles of philanthropic individuals, grassroots volunteers, as well as organizations whose missions parallel the efforts of The Angelrock Project. It has been a successful resource for many individuals seeking to “lead a life of service.” Ms.Compton-Rock’s personal endeavors in philanthropy are also highlighted on the website.

    Ms. Compton-Rock holds a B.F.A. in Arts/Production Management from Howard University. Malaak lives in New Jersey with her husband Chris Rock and their two daughters. She lives daily by her favorite Marian Wright Edelman quote, “Service is the rent we pay for living.”
