Bubbles DuMouchel, Youth Driven Spaces Capacity Builder and After Hours Advisor

I was a teen at Neutral Zone for four years. In that time, my passion for music was fostered and

my initiatives led me to be recruited for leadership programs where I learned about the strategies

that made the Neutral Zone so special. After graduating, one of my mentors offered me a

position to continue teaching the leadership skills I had learned to people just barely younger

than me. My professional work there led me to the opportunity to start a new program for young

people out of high school, a community to continue art in. Art and leadership have fed each other

to get both me and NZ to where we are today.
