Program Directors
Jet Bilsborrow
Greetings! I am Jet Bilsborrow and I have been volunteering at ACEing Autism for 7 years. Currently, I am a senior at Durham Academy, and this will be my second year as Director of Durham’s ACEing Autism program! I am the captain of the varsity tennis team and have been a member since my 8th grade year. I have spent a lot of time working with kids that have intellectual or developmental disabilities in school and with programs outside of school, mainly focusing on mobility skills. Working with ACEing Autism has been a fantastic experience and I love seeing the smiles on the kids’ faces! I can’t wait to continue amazing sessions this year!
