Our environment and friends can facilitate our learning...
We're grateful for volunteers, guests, and parents who facilitate offerings!
And our team of Agile Learning Facilitators (ALFs) coordinate our day-to-day flow!
Isa Frost (she/her) joined our team, bringing her background as an artist, art educator, and youth adventure facilitator out and around the city. She hosts lots of games, park trips, museum trips, and cooking offerings.
Caitlin Rosen McCormick (she/her) attended a few summer gatherings with us then followed her awesome kid in joining us more full-time. She loves making things, math, and playing with words. Caitlin hosts advisory, hands-on math, makerspace time, and field trips to introduce our teens to programs offering resources to teens and young adults around the city.
Arthur Velwest (they/he) joined us to host a once-a-week game and then stuck around. And we’re so glad they did! Arthur is a fantastic game master who facilitates table-top games, live action role-playing games, online game time, and outdoor adventures.
Ryan Shollenberger (he/him) has been a central figure at ALC-NYC since day one. Ryan’s background in education includes several degrees and time teaching in a variety of environments.
He hosts Math, Sports Chat, Minecraft, Geoguesser, and kickball. He loves sharing about German, philosophy, fitness, archetypes, and history.
He’s been a co-director since 2016 and admissions coordinator since 2018.
Abby Oulton (she/her) joined ALC-NYC when the school first officially opened as the flagship ALC in the fall of 2013. Starting in 2015, she took on a bunch of administration and community building work. In 2016, she assumed co-directorship of the school and started organizing trainings. Since 2017, she has served as vice president of the ALC Network, doing work that very much echoes what she does locally in NYC, and consulting for other organizations. She’s nerdy about systems and about how learning happens, in machines and societies as much as in individual living beings. She loves working directly with groups of self-directed kids, but she does more writing and behind-the-scenes work these days.
