This week we proudly spotlight Diahn Nevares, the passionate and dedicated Community Schools Coordinator at Lynn Community Middle School. In her first year in the role, Diahn has hit the ground running, building strong partnerships, championing student-led initiatives, and ensuring every student and family has access to the resources they need to thrive. From coordinating after-school programming and empowering youth through leadership clubs like Student Government and ENLACE, to overseeing the creation of critical spaces like the on-campus health clinic, dental services, and community resource room, Diahn is at the heart of it all. Her work reflects what it truly means to lead with heart, creating a school environment where students feel seen, supported and ready to succeed. Thank you, Diahn, for being a connector, a changemaker and a beacon of what community schools are all about—because if it takes a village to raise a child, Diahn is helping build that village every day!
