Rashida Ladner-Seward

Chief Program Officer

Rashida’s trajectory into the youth services profession began early on as a freshman in high school when she served as a peer leader working on a range of public health issues. She has a BA from NYU and is an alumna of the Partnership for After School Education/Baruch College School of Public Affairs’ Emerging Leaders in Nonprofit Management Program. Rashida is a trained vocalist (having graduated from Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music & Art and Performing Arts) and a firm believer that the arts build confidence and self-esteem in young people while helping them to succeed academically.
