Zach Rublin

Director of Programs & Curriculum

I joined NYSEC in August 2026 as the Director of Programs and Curriculum after participating in NYSEC’s Scarsdale Hot Topics Room and seeing firsthand how important it is for students to learn how to discuss controversial issues respectfully. That experience made me want to get more involved and help expand that opportunity to other students. I’m currently entering my junior year at Scarsdale High School, where I've founded a public policy-focused club and won the Westchester Youth Alliance’s Teen Changemaker Civic Symposium for my project on bridging the “opportunity gap” in Westchester’s public high schools. Beyond NYSEC, I’m an avid fisherman and backpacker with a passion for the outdoors.
