I am Jestina Eubanks and I’m the Program Director for Mosaic Afterschool. I have been a member of the P.S. 20 family for the past few years and I am excited to return with even better programming for our students. My education background is in Public Administration and Nonprofit Management which has given me the experience to work with Elected Officials in the community and childcare programs through schools, camps and abroad programs. My passion for working with children and programming became apparent from my service with AmeriCorps. As an education leader and advocate, I believe that it takes a village to raise a child and learning goes beyond the classroom.

Being from the island of wood and water; Jamaica, I love traveling and live life by my favorite book, Oh, The Places You’ll Go by Dr. Seuss. Traveling to a new country each year helps me to appreciate one’s culture and brightens my outlook on life. Meister Eckhart said it best “And suddenly you know: It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings.” In other words, having the drive to step outside one’s comfort zones and think outside the box. As a risk taker, it’s starting something new and trusting in the process. Trust in the magic of Mosaic!
