Njeri McGee Tyner
Executive Director
Being a parent of 4 children and as a mentor, I understand what children need to have fun! Throughout my career and community roles, I have championed the importance of having access to equitable educational resources, enrichment activities, and family resources. The RECESS program is a way of providing a supportive pathway for our youth to learn, grow, and have fun!
