OUR TEAM

Meet Jacqueline Anderson, the dynamic force behind a successful career as a Facilities and Purchasing Manager at a mid-sized law firm, all while donning the hat of Founder at BLAST Youth Center—an after-school haven for the young and curious minds of tomorrow. 

In a spotlight that shone bright on LinkedIn, Jacqueline was Recognized as the Facilities Manager of the Month by the New York City International Facilities Manager Association and Sonya Verny of BDO, an International Facility Management New York City Communications Member. Not one to shy away from community service, Jacqueline volunteers as the Assistant Treasurer for her neighborhood, nominated by none other than The East 48th Street Block Association. 

Her journey weaves through the corporate labyrinth, onto the Advisory Board of a prominent New York television program, Brooklyn45, only to find her true calling where her heart truly sings—in nurturing the potential of young souls at BLAST Youth Center since its creation in 2016. Jacqueline Anderson, the multi-talented professional turned youth advocate extraordinaire, is indeed a force to be reckoned with!
