I am thrilled to announce that Josephine (JoJo) Mazyck has joined the FANmily as Executive Director!
Josephine Mazyck (Ms. JoJo) is excited to begin her journey with (FAN). She was drawn to our mantra of safe spaces, linked hearts. Josephine is a firm believer of bringing people together. In her own upbringing, she attributes the power of her community/village to her many successes. She understands the importance of many people working together to ensure children have everything they need. Her core values align with those of FAN and we’re happy to have her here.
Ms. JoJo comes to us with a strong background in community development & relationship building, social services, and Montessori. Josephine spent the last 6 years in a charter school setting where she was focused on bridging the gap between home and school and helping parents understand that they are partners in their child(ren)’s education. It is her goal to see parents and teachers working together to set students up for success. An ideal educational system for her is one that educates the entire family.
You can read more about Ms. JoJo on our website.
I will be returning to my role as FAN’s biggest cheerleader and Chair of the Board of Directors. As we close out our first summer as DC's first Youth Peer Operated Center, we are so excited about what we have accomplished over the last year. Programs at the center have served 107 children, youth, and family members-astonishing growth for FAN in terms of our reach. We are so excited to see that growth continue under Ms. JoJo's leadership. Look out for your first update from her in your next report!
