Internal Coordinator

Jan 2015 - Mar 2017
Divest DU is a student group calling on the University of Denver to to divest its endowment from fossil fuels and reinvest in green energy and climate change solutions. As an Internal Coordinator, I oversaw leadership development, media, and coordination with the Divestment Student Network. During my time, I helped a movement that had little leverage with the administration gain the support of student groups, faculty, and more than 1700 students. Although the University refused to divest, they reallocated $5 million dollars toward sustainability efforts on campus and is engaging in a full-scale restructuring of the Center for Sustainability.

The Fairbanks Climate Action Coalition (FCAC) is a grassroots organization creating connections between youth, nonprofits, green businesses, political leaders, Alaska Native leaders, and faith groups in order to advance a vision of a more sustainable, more equitable Fairbanks. Through a fellowship with 350.org, I was able to return to my hometown for a summer to hone my skills in community organizing and coalition building. I built a website and email infrastructure, created media, and helped organized FCAC events.
