Bio:

After completing her Master’s Degree in Community Based Foods Systems in 2002, at York University, Lindsay worked as the National Director of the Sierra Youth Coalition (SYC) in Ottawa, Canada. Here Lindsay combined her skills and experiences in campaigning, project management, strategic planning and fundraising to build and strengthen Canada’s leading youth environmental organization. Lindsay has fundraised over half a million dollars for the organization in 2 years and is currently building a fundraising consulting group to help support and build the capacity of under-serviced and under-developed organizations by launching long-term sustained donor cultivation programs. She is producing a feature length documentary on Agriculture, Trade and the Environment and is currently working as an organizer for the Sierra Club of Canada.

"I was challenged at the Jam. Challenged both to understand my own reality, but also to understand the reality of so many brothers and sisters from around the world. I am so honored. I am so inspired. It is so amazing to be part of the Jamily!"
