EJ

Evelyn Jayne, aka EJ, is a rising 8th grader at Harlem Academy and truly loves school, especially Science and History. She recently joined the cross country and track teams but loves to play volleyball at recess. EJ lives with her mom and her two unique pets, Banana & Myrtle in West Harlem. She also has two amazing big brothers who live in Atlanta and Norway. EJ started the concept of Nice Ninjas, when she was only 7 years old and received her official 501c3 status in early 2024. She is also a very active member of the volunteer team at Advent NYC Food pantry and has been volunteering there since she could walk (literally!) EJ’s efforts in the community have not gone unnoticed as she is a three-time recipient of the President’s Volunteer Service Award. When she's not busy with school or volunteering, you can find her cheering on the Brooklyn Cyclones or running track at Riverbank.
