Candice Buchanan

Executive Director

SummerCollab

Buchanan has always had a passion for positive youth development. As a youth program manager for YWCA Delaware, she strove to provide high quality life skills and college prep programming for middle and high school girls. At the Delaware Department of Education, she had the opportunity to work closely with Wilmington’s priority schools where she developed a strong sense of responsibility for holding adults accountable to making kid centered decisions. As Executive Director, Buchanan gets to tie those things together as she focuses on developing high quality programming and strengthening partnerships to make summer smarter for our kids and communities.
