Teens

Welcome!

Nicole Schanker
JCC Teen Coordinator /BBYO City Director

After earning an MSW from Florida Atlantic University with a focus on child welfare, Nicole joined the Peace Corps, and served as a community and youth development volunteer in Armenia for two years. Her experience has given her the knowledge to work with youth from various socio-economic, cultural, ethnic, educational and other diverse backgrounds. Growing up, she was an active member of the JCC, and is thrilled to now join as an employee. Nicole’s goal is to provide a fun and safe environment for the teens in our community to help them become influential leaders of tomorrow.
