Gilbert Abel

Tween Director

Gilbert lets everyone know that he has their back. He perfectly exemplifies being able to do whatever someone sets their mind to regardless of their background. Gilbert can solve a Rubik’s Cube in under a minute which is super impressive to both kids and adults. 

mina

Wilhelmina Alicea

Assistant Director of Programs & Leadership

Mina believes that every day she gets to work with children is a gift. Hearing their stories and seeing the impact that the staff has on them leaves her speechless. Being a Harry Potter fan who is passionate about make-up and nails makes Mina pretty popular with the kids.

Ginny spends every day shaping the next generations as she was shaped through her time as a member here. She is passionate about giving love and guidance to our members who might need just a little more than they receive outside of the club

keith

Keith Darling

STEM Director

Keith loves showing the kids phenomena and technologies that he thinks are cool or crazy. He gets to create experiments for them based around his interests which sparks their interest in science. Keith always finds it funny when the STEAM Lab’s green frog, Tree Legs, lets out a big squeak and jumps off his rock, starling everyone nearby.

Rudi builds relationships with members and helps them grow. Her passion is helping others discover their own passions. The best part of Rudi’s job is getting to inspire positive change that spreads beyond the Club. 

Nikki St. Onge

Highland-Goffe's Falls Site Director

Nikki creates a safe place where kids can come home and be themselves without fear. She comes to work every day with a smile and helps at least one person who may not be smiling. Nikki loves animals of all types, but her dream is to hop in a cage and swim with the sharks.
