Matt Budd

Matt Budd is an administrator and the Director of Community Action at The Berkeley Carroll School. Matt attended Harley through Middle School (gr.8) and later came back to teach grade 4. While teaching at Harley, Matt earned his Master’s in Social Work from University at Buffalo. After Harley, Matt moved to Brooklyn, NY, and taught grade 5 at the Ethical Culture Fieldston School (ECFS), a world-class progressive prep school with 1,700 students. Matt found himself excited about helping his students explore the concepts of community action and social justice. ECFS created a service-learning coordinator position for him, and he was drawn to Berkeley Carroll’s new cross-divisional role, in which he has had the opportunity to work with students, faculty, and families to foster healthy, equitable, and sustainable community partnerships through the lens of community engagement. Matt lives in Brooklyn with his wife Kim Sahler Budd ’97 and their three children. He rides his bike to work every morning.
