Alden Dyckman
Alumni Award
Levittown Memorial, 1975Alden Dyckman is a lifelong Levittown resident. Most importantly, he subscribes to its small town values. Having graduated from Levittown Memorial High School in 1975, he went on to Nassau Community College and New York Tech. His siblings include a brother and two sisters who were also Memorial graduates.
Volunteer is a word and mindset that is not only an activity but a devotion to Alden. It began in High School where he was a three-sport athlete. For ten years he travelled internationally working for an export company dealing with South America. Eventually he worked for the Plainedge School District and retired in 2014. During that time he acted as the head Middle school lacrosse coach and assistant football coach. He also served as the co-founder and volunteer coach for the third and fourth grade boys PAL lacrosse program.
During those years he continued a series of volunteer projects.
He began a long relationship with St. Bernards Catholic Church, acting as a coordinator for their "Meals on Wheels" program, delivering much needed food and transportation to needy seniors. Alden has satisfied that role for over a decade.
In 2010, Alden joined the Long Island Metropolitan Lacrosse Foundation where he participated in numerous events and functions. He now oversees the Foundations' Special Needs team called the Knights in conjunction with The Nassau County Police Athletic League. It operates during Spring and Winter weekly, including all age groups and needs. The Knights also participate in MacArthur's Autism Awareness day. He recruits other volunteers and High School teams to assist with the clinics. His resume and awards are numerous.
