Facilitators - ALC-NYC

Facilitators? Who are they?

Meet our Agile Learning Facilitators…

Ryan Shollenberger: A central figure at Agile Learning Center NYC since day one, Ryan’s ed. background includes several degrees and time teaching in a variety of environments. He’s known in the ALC community for his amazing beard, his sincerity and playfulness, facilitating meetings, and co-creating spectacular Minecraft worlds.

Mel Compo: Mel joined ALC-NYC in the summer of 2016 and has been a rockstar facilitator since! She’s the instigator of Library Quest, the timekeeper of Tea and Free Write, and our resident librarian. She also runs rad field trips around the city.

Chuck Savoy: Trying to make candles? Jewelry? Taffy or Clear Toy? A cat house? A wallet? An engine? A clock? Tin type photographs? Kombucha? Hand-bound books? Anything with rope? Go ask Chuck. Our resident tinkerer came to facilitate full-time in September of 2017 after three ALF Summer trainings and lots of time on/around ships.

We love when volunteers, guests, and parents facilitate offerings!

Our environment, friends, and administrator can be facilitators, too!

Abby Oulton: Abby started as a volunteer facilitator in fall of 2013. Facilitation is still her favorite practice, but in the past few years she’s taken on keeping all the administration//finance//event planning//community building//network tending//parent coaching//mediation plates spinning.
