Carolyn Norr is honored to be a co-founding adult supporter and Program Director at YVA.
About
After over 10 years working in OUSD schools and afterschool programs, she began bringing youth to speak their truth about a proposed coal terminal at Oakland City Council meetings in 2015. From there, her collaboration with young people working for their rights and those of their community and planet has taken many new forms. She is so pleased to be supporting the next generation of climate leaders, as they in turn use class presentations, clubs, creativity, and strategic campaigns to build a powerful, frontline-led community acting for climate justice. Her role at YVA is to hold the background organizational tasks so that youth can devote their brilliance to organizing, and to provide support, mentorship, and resources to YVA youth leaders. Carolyn is the parent of two amazing elementary school kids, a partner, a daughter, and a sister. She is grateful to live on Chochenyo Ohlone land and loves plants, birds, and speaking truth to power.
