Our WPYC Staff
Jamieson Williams is a 2014 graduate of the University of Cincinnati’s College-Conservatory of Music. While a student, he worked with social justice initiatives such as the Racial Awareness Program, Ohio Student Association and the Social Justice Training Institute. After obtaining a degree in Electronic Media & Marketing, he entered Americorps Public Allies in order to work in the nonprofit sector. While Jamieson served as the Americorps Public Ally for two years, he's focused on increasing WPYC's social media presence, conflict resolution between students and increasing their understanding of the real world. Before returning to WPYC as the Executive Director, he worked as a Youth Leadership Development Specialist at the Brighton Center. Jamieson's focus for WPYC youth is increasing focus on technology and cultural diversity.
WPYC’s educational director is headed into her twelth year of service at the Center. Phyllis is near completion of her associate’s degree in early childhood at the Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. Phyllis was a seven year resident of Winton Place and the Center benefits from the positive relationships Phyllis has developed through the years with our students’ families. Most important, her commitment to serving the children of WPYC is steadfast.
Emanuel was born in New York City but has spent most of his life in Cincinnati, Ohio. He graduated from Woodward High School in 2003. He spent three years living in South Carolina, where he began studying education and briefly worked with elementary school children. Most recently, he worked as a Teacher's Aide for Head Start in Columbus,
Ohio, with preschool children aged 3-5. Having lived in poverty, he has observed many of the obstacles that hold young people back and stifle their growth. He believes that what is needed more than individual economic empowerment is a strong community, one that will support the marginalized and pool its resources to create opportunities for all its members. His hope is
that working as a Public Ally for the Winton Place Youth Center will
allow him to help make that happen.
