We are delighted to welcome Nina Ruffini as the new A&E Supervisor for our Arts and Enrichment After School Program. Nina has quickly assimilated with the instructors and students with her infectious energy, her strong mentoring skills, out-of-the box ideas, and willingness to try new ways to improve student experience, parent engagement, and meet PA state compliance standards.

Originally from Coatesville in the eastern part of Pennsylvania, Nina came to us from Asheville NC. Nina’s talents include juggling, acrobatics, and magic honed during her time in the circus. Outside of work, she enjoys writing - everything from songs to plays to movie scripts.

Nina’s passion for creating an inclusive environment for everyone involved in the A&E program and at our community center is an asset for us all! ...
