Tuesday Profile - André Lynch

André Lynch is our brand new Educational Program Director. We are so very excited to welcome him on board during this awesome and crazy 2nd year of operation. If you have been reading our blog regularly, you know that our student membership has shot-up exponentially during the past few months. We started out the year with four and are now at twenty-two.

André spontaneously visited in late November because he saw our chalkboard sign on the sidewalk and was curious about DRC and the programs we offer. He started volunteering soon after, for a couple mornings a week, and soon became an integral part of the program.


As our numbers continued to grow it became apparent that we needed to hire another staff person.  André was the ideal candidate – he is here with tons of experience and talent, completely sold on our mission and vision, devoted to the students, and the kids adore him. Yes, a perfect match!


We are so very grateful that he wandered up the stairs to follow his natural inquisitiveness.


If you would like to learn more about André you can read his bio here on the Staff and Board page on the DRC website.


The kids interviewed him this Monday morning during our community meeting. You will notice many of the questions begin: what is your favorite ….
