Bio

I work at Earth Island Institute as Program Director for the New Leaders Initiative and Brower Youth Awards. These programs honor young environmental leaders in North America for their outstanding activism and achievements. We're partnering with Youth Venture on the Youth Venture - Lorax Challenge. I'm excited to join your network; I have nearly ten years of experience working with student networks on national and international environmental campaigns, including campaigns to stop old growth logging, halt destructive oil and gas investments, and to reform the U.S. auto industry. When I'm not working on environmental initiatives, I spend lots of time outdoors cycling and as a new guide for Environmental Traveling Companions, a non-profit that facilitates kayaking trips for low-income youth and folks with disabilities.

Goals

  • I want to help out a venture
  • I want to reach out to YV alumni
  • I'd like to find talented environmental advocates and activists who are interested in getting additional resources and support for their work - check out www.broweryouthawards.org!

Interests

Community Organizing, Cultural Awareness, Environment, Peace and Non-Violence, Youth Empowerment

Hey Sharon...It's good to hear from you. Things are going well out here. I must say I'm jealous you have such nice weather out there -- I can't wait for it to actually become Spring for us! Take care.
