Tarik Kitson, Mph is a Health Care Administrator at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. He possess expertise in public health, healthcare, health policy, healthcare management, nonprofits and 18 more skills. Colleagues describe him as "Tarik Kitson is one of the most extraordinary people I know. I met him eight years ago when Active Plus was but a dream - he inspired me then because of his natural abilities as a networker, athlete and professional but has continued to inspire me over the years because of how he identified a need in his community and set out to build solutions and make a difference in the lives of New York City's children and families. Tarik comes from a health administration and for-profit background and despite never working for a nonprofit organization, he set out to make his vision of Active Plus a reality. Kitson has a true gift for identifying mentors and people in his life that can support him but also serves as a quiet (and modest) leader. He has become a mentor to hundreds of youth and adolescents in New York City and beyond and inspires his peers every day. Through my informal role advising Tarik on the ins and outs of the nonprofit world, and in a more formal role as Active Plus' founding Board Member, I have watched him start an organization from scratch, making sure to cross his T's and dot his I's but always staying true to the mission of Active Plus and putting the kids and families they serve first. Kitson has a heart of gold and never fails to put his friends, family, colleagues and community before himself. He is a committed volunteer of the Rotary Club of Harlem amongst other notable organizations and I would whole heartedly recommend him and Active Plus in whatever capacity you intend to work with them. " and "Tarik's leadership skills and passion for community outreach is parallel to none. His body of work, all while maintaing a full time job, given the amount of time and limited resources he's had to work with, is nothing short of incredible. "
