I’m Riley Mulcahy, the proud Executive Director of The RILEY Project. My journey has been deeply shaped by my experience with Dyslexia, which I was diagnosed with at the age of seven. Despite the challenges it presented, I’ve been fortunate to thrive in supportive, inclusive environments that recognized and nurtured my unique learning needs. These experiences have fueled my passion for creating opportunities for others with learning differences to achieve their full potential.

At The RILEY Project, our mission is to foster agency, empowerment, and belonging for students and families navigating the world of learning differences. We believe that every individual deserves access to an environment where they can develop confidence, embrace their strengths, and share their stories.

Through my work at Compass High School in Belmont, California, and Hanger Hall School in Asheville, North Carolina, I’ve cultivated skills in social media, marketing, fundraising, and community-building—tools that have been invaluable in advocating for accessible education and building supportive networks.

I invite you to join me in supporting The RILEY Project. Together, we can amplify neurodiverse voices, create inclusive spaces, and empower students and families to thrive. Let’s build a future where everyone feels seen, valued, and capable of achieving their dreams.
