Sam will be stepping away from his role as Co-Director (but he’ll still be at the org!) and is handing off the reins (mic) to Ari, our long time Program and Development Manager! Since the beginning we’ve tried to build this program around the brilliance, passions, and priorities of young people in the Southend. This transition is an exciting continuation of this work, and we are thrilled that Ari is stepping into more leadership!
“I am very excited to take on this new role as the co-director of AGE UP! It feels very natural to take on this project and this next step up in leadership, especially as someone who has grown up in and been raised by this community. I feel so lucky to have this community in my corner, and it feels like things are coming full circle with this leadership transition. It is a huge testament to the investment that this organization has made in the leadership of young folks in the Southend.”
