Stephen Lyne is the Director of Development for Book Fairies. Stephen has previously worked in the non-profit field with City Year, gaining experience in corporate and foundation partnerships, event management, and leading volunteer engagement programs.
Stephen was inspired to get involved in education by his father, who spent thirty years as a high school history teacher in California, and his mother, who impressed upon him the importance of reading at a very young age. Stephen currently lives on Long Island with his wife, young son, and two dogs, and loves being able to introduce his son to the same books he loved as a kid.
“I’ve always been passionate about making sure students in under-resourced communities have equitable access to quality education, and I’m so excited to keep doing that work with the amazing team at Book Fairies.”
