Welcome to Our New Facilitators!
August 31, 2016
Project Success welcomed four new facilitators to our team this August after a thoughtful and careful search over the summer. These incredible additions to our facilitator team will help us continue to deepen our impact serving our past 15 partner schools, and also help us to expand as we serve two new Minneapolis public schools this year: Ramsey Middle School and Longfellow Alternative High School. This year, we will help more than 12,000 students in our 17 partner schools dream, plan and succeed.
We are pleased to introduce you to our new facilitators:
Annick Dall
Facilitator, Southwest and Washburn
Raised in Ohio, Annick trained at the Experimental Theatre Wing in NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts. During her time off from school, she developed and directed a summer theater camp for the kids in her neighborhood, an experience that sparked her interest in the creativity of young people, and set her on the path she’s still following today.
