The North End Music & Performing Arts Center (NEMPAC) is thrilled to welcome Allie Meek-Carufel as their new Educational Program Director! Having already been a part of the NEMPAC organization for many years, Ms. Meek-Carufel has a solid understanding of the great impact NEMPAC has on the community. Over the past few years, NEMPAC has expanded its educational programs to surrounding neighborhoods of the North End including Charlestown and Beacon Hill, and has continued to ensure quality arts programming is accessible to all through its scholarship programs and subsidized programming. Ms. Meek-Carufel will help carry forward NEMPAC’s educational programming goals, build and sustain in-school partnerships, and ensure the needs of the community are heard and being met.

As an educator for the past 4 years NEMPAC has been one of my homes. The education programs at NEMPAC are some of the best I’ve worked with. I’ve been privileged to teach in an organization that provides quality arts education to the community, supports students of all backgrounds and levels and empowers students through dance, music, and theatre. I am beyond thrilled and honored to step into the role of Educational Programs Director. I look forward to engaging with the community, families, students, and instructors as NEMPAC and our educational programming continues to evolve and thrive.”
