Dawn Young – Founder
My experience in after-school programming gives me a unique perspective about what does and doesn’t work. Based on my years of developing and observing children’s programming, I created Aurora Skills, Inc.
Aurora Skills is a “Skill” driven program that specifically focuses on each individual child and their families. Aurora Skills works closely with families to accommodate busy schedules while providing a place where each child feels and knows that at Aurora Skills, they can confidently voice their feelings and opinions. I’ve spent the past 24 years as Director and Site Supervisor for one of the previous after school programs at PS6. I have two older children who attended PS6 and my youngest child attends a school in District 2. I’ve spent my career working with children and families in after-school settings. In addition to running the program at PS6, I set up, staffed, and provided training for several after- care programs throughout Manhattan, Long Island, and Brooklyn. I am dedicated to improving our communities by elevating the quality of after school programming for children and families.
