CURRENTLY ORGANIZING IN FORT GREENE, BROOKLYN – GET INVOLVED!

Fort Greene

Samantha Johnson

Samantha Johnson applied to the Ingersoll Community Center as a potential art instructor, but her talent for connecting people transitioned into her current role fostering community integration and developing special initiatives. Samantha loves the challenge of brainstorming meaningful events and programs with limited resources. One of the most rewarding aspects for her is seeing the impact of her work on the community, especially through the children who come up and hug her every day.
