Hi everyone, I’m Brianne, founder of The Perspectives Collective.

​

I created The Perspectives Collective to offer welcoming, open-to-the-public community enrichment classes where tweens and teens can connect, build confidence, express themselves, and participate in meaningful shared activities.

​

As a certified special education teacher licensed in grades 7–12 Special Education, I have seen how important structured, supportive environments can be for young people. My background helps me design classes that are engaging, inclusive, and accessible to a wide range of learners while remaining open to the broader community.

​

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and a Master’s degree in Special Education. Through my experience as an educator, I have developed a strong understanding of how to support communication, collaboration, perspective-taking, confidence, and participation through structured activities and relationship-based learning.

​

At The Perspectives Collective, participants take part in activities such as creative projects, games, building challenges, music and movement, guided discussion, and collaborative experiences. Each class is designed to encourage self-expression, peer connection, problem-solving, and community participation in a small-group setting.

​

My goal is to create a space that feels warm, uplifting, inclusive, and genuinely enjoyable for every young person and family who walks through our doors.

The Perspectives Collective offers community-based enrichment classes for tweens and teens in Staten Island, NY.
Open to the public. Not a clinical or therapeutic program.
