"The environment is where we all meet; where we all have a mutual interest;
it is the one thing that all of us share. It is not only a mirror of ourselves, but
a focusing lens on what we can become...
"
- Lady Bird Johnson

 

My name is Ben and I am the Advocate Mentor program coordinator for Freshwater Future. During my year of service, I'll be coordinating and maintaining the Advocate Mentor program at Freshwater Future.

I graduated from Carleton College in Minnesota with a degree in political science and international relations. Recently, my travels have included Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, and Great Britain. I enjoy swimming and water polo. This year, I hope to work with and get to know some of the 1,800 grassroots organizations that Freshwater Future works alongside to protect the Great Lakes.
