I am currently a Senior at Durham Academy. I love playing tennis, and golf. This is my second session as a co-director and third year with ACEing Autism. 

Aerin Borden

I am Program Director alongside two other members of the Durham Academy sector of ACEing Autism. I have played tennis all my life and am a part of the Durham Academy Women’s Tennis Team. I began volunteering in 9th grade and am so grateful to now help lead such a great community as a Senior. I am a part of ACEing Autism because of the impact that the program has on the kids and their families.

Alison Linger

Hi! My name is Alison Linger and I’ve been a volunteer with ACEing Autism for 3 years. I’m a senior at Durham Academy, and will be taking over the Durham ACEing Autism program this year! I play varsity tennis at my school and spend a lot of time volunteering with kids who have intellectual or developmental disabilities through programs in and outside of my school. I have absolutely loved my years working with the kids through the Durham ACEing Autism program, and I am so excited to be taking a leadership role this year!
