Noah (he/him) is a dedicated community organizer, climate adaptation researcher, and proud plant dad. He is passionate about implementing sustainable design and building an equitable framework for environmental stewardship. His mission is to foster connection between community outreach and environmental design.

Noah is an alumnus of California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Earth and Soil Science, with a minor in Sustainable Environments. As a student, he researched climate adaptation and mitigation practices. He also took on various leadership roles to support his community and stay true to his  identity.

Following graduation in 2023, John served as a Campus Compact AmeriCorps VISTA with College for Social Innovation in his home city of Boston, MA. This year-long experience immersed him in the world of higher education, where he honed his skills in partnership development, recruitment and marketing practices, customer relationship management platforms, and more. John's commitment to social impact led him to continue his AmeriCorps VISTA service in 2024 through Stanford.

John graduated from the University of Vermont with a Bachelor of Arts in History and a minor in Reporting and Documentary Storytelling. In his free time, John enjoys hiking, swimming, nature photography, and movies of all kinds.

Lolina graduated from the University of Florida with a BA in psychology. She looks to public health as a growing necessity and values advocacy in the representation of gender, socioeconomic, and racial inequalities, especially in the fields of mental health and disorders. As a staunch environmentalist, she knows planetary health is quintessential in these efforts. She is very excited to support her nonprofit partner’s efforts to engage youth in the growing job market of addressing the climate crisis. 

Lolina loves the arts, is a connoisseur of vegan cuisine and cooking, and spent over a decade as a Girl Scout loving the outdoors—camping, hiking, and climbing over big rocks.

Fabrice graduated from the University of Notre Dame with majors in Economics and Global Affairs, and a minor in Poverty Studies. Born in Kigali, Rwanda, Fabrice is passionate about serving the African diaspora and marginalized communities. During the summer of 2023, Fabrice traveled back to Rwanda to research how to decrease school dropout rates in economically disadvantaged communities. After graduating, Fabrice spent the summer working at the Robinson Community Learning Center in South Bend as an AmeriCorps VISTA, continuing to help expand educational opportunities to vulnerable populations.

While social justice work takes many forms and intersects in several ways, Fabrice elects to primarily focus on championing education and housing rights as a means of achieving upward mobility for marginalized communities.
