Since 2005, Andrea Lehmann has been a dedicated member of the SPNN Youth Department, leading both the Set It Up program, and the summer Youth Intern Program.
This May we said goodbye to Andrea as she embarked on the adventure of taking care of her new daughter, Eva. We thank her for her dedication to SPNN, to the youth we work with, and to helping youth produce creative and socially engaged media. We will miss her dearly and wish her the best of luck.
