    Season 2- Episode 2- Meara Kane

    Meara Kane is a City Year AmeriCorps member serving as a student success coach at Eugene Field Elementary School in Tulsa, Oklahoma. In this role, she provides academic, attendance, and social-emotional support to students in a fourth grade classroom. The City Year program requires 1700 hours of service throughout the school year, and Meara pursues additional service opportunities outside of the classroom by volunteering with community organizations such as Iron Gate, the Gathering Place, the Tulsa Garden Center, the Tulsa SPCA, and the Oklahoma Aquarium. She enjoys seeking out new experiences and believes that community connection is an essential part of staying grounded and healthy while navigating challenges. In addition to her work with City Year, Meara has also been working on a project called Lemniscate, which she developed with a classmate shortly after graduating high school. Lemniscate aims to elevate voices from the neurodivergent community by creating safe spaces for neurodivergent folks to connect and share their experiences. She recently partnered with a writer from the Tulsa area to host Lemniscate’s first in-person meetup in March, where they met other community members who were also interested in the project. They are currently working on maintaining connections virtually through a blog, newsletter, and social media channels and are planning a second in-person event scheduled for the end of May.
