We are excited to announce the addition of four exceptional individuals to our esteemed board. Their willingness to serve and wealth of experience as parents and advocates for neurodiverse youth and families enrich our mission profoundly. WELCOME! Andrew Dunn (Andy)** brings 25 years of extensive background in journalism, finance, editing, writing, and teaching. Holding a B.A. in European History from Columbia University, we are grateful for his expertise and excited about the fresh perspectives he brings to our organization. Dr. Charles Reyl** is an accomplished entrepreneur and analyst at Select Equity Group L.P. With expertise in trading, commodities, markets, and finance. As a published author in geophysics and geology, Charles's diverse skills and innovative spirit have significantly benefited our mission. Janelle Bousquet** has 20 years of experience as a special educator with a master’s degree in early childhood education/special education. Her valuable knowledge in parental education, along with her expertise in neurodiverse curriculum and evaluation, will be essential to our programs. Dr. Tamara R.

This ongoing collaboration, made possible by the New York Community Trust, will broaden our reach and promise a summer filled with new experiences and opportunities for neurodivergent girls, families, and older youth. Explore our exciting summer schedule, which brings more enriching programs to our communities in Brooklyn and Manhattan. EKC/CAA together, we will create fun and brave spaces that nurture a sense of belonging and community for neurodivergent youth. #neurodivergentcommunity #allablitys #disabilitycommunity #partnership #summerclubsnyc
