Minds Matter Seattle is excited to announce the addition of a new team member!
After four years of operating with a single staff member and an extraordinary network of dedicated volunteer instructors, the organization is proud to continue growing its capacity.
We are pleased to welcome Hayley Werner as the newest staff member.
Hayley brings extensive experience in education and arts administration, having worked with students across a wide age range. She earned her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Psychology from Chapman University and completed a residency with Milwaukee Repertory Theater, contributing to curriculum development, classroom instruction, and research. In Seattle, she previously served as Education Programs Manager at Village Theatreās KIDSTAGE, where she led programs serving more than 500 students each year.
Her work emphasizes inclusivity, social emotional development, and strong community engagement. In her role, Hayley will support summer programming and Saturday Sessions as Minds Matter Seattle continues to strengthen its offerings for students across the region.
Please join us in welcoming Hayley to the Minds Matter Seattle community.
