Riley Mulcahy, a proud Compass alum, now serves as Development and Community Outreach Coordinator. After graduating with honors from Saint Mary’s College of California with a BA in English and a focus on Creative Writing, he returned to Compass to help lead its admissions, fundraising, and communications efforts.

Riley brings nearly a decade of experience in disability advocacy, strategic outreach, and inclusive storytelling. He’s the founder and Executive Director of The RILEY Project, a nonprofit amplifying neurodivergent voices through storytelling and systems change. He also serves on the board of Changing Perspectives and advises Cognition Labs, a startup advancing text accessibility for people with dyslexia.

.He serves on the development committee, manages social media, and cultivates mission-aligned partnerships. Whether planning events or building community relationships, Riley centers equity, connection, and creativity.

Outside of school, he’s a dedicated volunteer, connector, and live music fan who’s always down to recommend a good playlist—or a great local taco spot.
