Ari has been part of the Urban Adamah community since 2015, when she participated in the young adult Fellowship. After the Fellowship, Ari served in a variety of roles on Urban Adamah’s professional team, including Youth Educator, Farm Apprentice, and most recently the Public Programs & Retreat Center Director.

Since transitioning off of Urban Adamah’s staff in 2020, Ari has been consulting for several nonprofits in the health and civic engagement fields. Ari is the Co-Founder of the COVID Grief Network (CGN), an international mutual aid organization that provides free grief support to young adults grieving the serious illness or death of someone close due to COVID-19. At CGN, she manages operations, communications, and organizational strategy. Ari has a BA in Global Health & Environmental Studies from the University of Michigan and is currently completing her Master’s Degree in Nonprofit Management at the University of Pennsylvania.

Ari is grateful for the opportunity to join the Urban Adamah board and is thrilled to continue connecting and contributing to her community.
