Founder and Executive Director at Climate Conservancy

Executive Director at Force of Nature

“I joined the OY4C Advisory Board because I believe that young people are brilliant, aware, and paying attention - and they need to be resourced and supported to advocate for themselves in a time that calls us to be adaptable in order to build a future on this planet that is livable and just, together. OY4C's huge volunteer team and curriculum is a testament to the resourcefulness of young people, and their determination to learn and be challenged. “
