@iamcnf welcomes Simone Muschett as their Summer Education Programs Manager (NYC – 2018). Simone Muschett will facilitate @iamcnf’s 2018 Summer Intensive Program which consists of 3 weeks, through the month of July. Simone will build upon skills the 2017 cohort developed over the course of last year. For the latter two weeks, she will assist the 2018 cohort with honing and developing their natural talent while exposing them to professions and companies that were previously not in their purview. Simone Elise Muschett was born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. Growing up as a young woman of color presented many challenges for her as she pursued academic and career goals. From High School and beyond, Muschett faced alarming obstacles that forced her to mature beyond her years. As a result of overhearing faculty members in her high school express to at risk students “they are bad for our statistics,” Muschett decided to dedicate her life to developing at risk youth. Confident that she can make an impact, Muschett served as an Americorps Teaching Fellow her first 2 years out of college. During this time, Muschett acquired a Master’s of Arts in Teaching from Relay Graduate School Education and discovered a passion for counseling students grappling with trauma, poverty, abuse or neglect. Muschett created behavior incentive plans and coordinated trips to correctional facilities to intervene the lives of students on the wrong path. In 2015, Muschett Co-Founded a mentoring youth based non-profit, Youth of Order, where she developed organizational structures, created materials for character building workshops and paired students with mentors in the community to promote an “ it takes a village mindset” in Brooklyn. Currently, Muschett holds a dual certification in General and Special Education while teaching High School Literacy in Brooklyn, NY. #iamcnf #cnf #catalystnetworkfoundation #NyC #Educator #eachoneTeachOne #PayitForward #Teacher #Youth #Develop #Educate #Inspire #Enlighten #BeAcatalyst #Brooklyn
