Olen Taylor is a senior @rutgersnb majoring in Exercise Science with a minor in Medical Ethics and Health Policy.

His interest in public service began when he created an adaptive fitness class at Rutgers, driven by a simple desire to build something his disabled mother could attend and grew after listening to students and learning programming wasn’t enough to close that gap. That experience led him to found @ru.move4more, a student-organization that conducted accessibility audits across five Rutgers recreation facilities and is building toward systemic infrastructure change for students with disabilities.

He has since trained with the Industrial Areas Foundation, the nation’s oldest and largest network of religious congregations and civic groups to build broad-based civic power and train citizen leaders for social change. Olen brings an organizer’s lens to everything he does, and he is now bringing that to the Voorhees Fellowship to conduct community research rooted in deep listening.
