About Me
Hi, I’m Lauren.
I am a nonprofit arts leader and community advocate from Chicago, now living in Tulsa, OK.
I believe that activity - action and energy, showing up, listening first and responding second - makes our neighborhoods stronger, safer, and more dynamic.
We all have a responsibility to do our part.
WHAT DOES ACTION LOOK LIKE?
Over the last several years, I have increased my commitment to public education, strengthened nonprofit organizations across the city, and deepened my understanding of what it means to be an active neighbor in one’s community. Change happens in all forms, but I am most interested in the weekly grind of rolling up your sleeves and doing the tedious work the brings about real, long lasting change. It’s planting the seeds for the trees whose shade you will never sit under. The work is important, even if we don’t experience the outcomes.
What’s next?
Starting in September 2023, I’ll be taking a new adventure with The Opportunity as their Manager of Professional Learning.
