Liz Starke

Liz is in the field in Michigan supporting the NWF and Campus Ecology program by organizing the Michigan Student Sustainability Coalition (MSSC).

By building and activating Michigan’s statewide network of youth environmentalists, Liz hopes to connect and train college organizers and solidify the youth voice around environmental issues in Michigan. Her work includes outreach to various campuses across the state, creating and implementing leadership training programs, coordinating with partners organizations, and sustaining momentum for the environmental movement.

Liz has a history of youth environmental organizing, and has worked for Repower America and Clean Water Action throughout her college career. In addition to being passionate about the environment, Liz also firmly believes in active citizenship, cultivated by 4 years of involvement with MSU’s Alternative Spring Break program.

In her free time, Liz enjoys spending time on the coast of Lake Michigan near her home town, fantasizing about her dream garden, reading, and being with active minded and passionate people. Recently, Liz has graduated from Michigan State University with a BA in International Relations and is excited to be able to play a more active role in Michigan’s environmental movement.
