Young Professional River Defenders
The Young Professional River Defenders of the Alabama Rivers Alliance fosters a productive space for professional development and nonprofit board and leadership training for professionals early in their careers of environmentalism, advocacy, organizing and more. Our YPRD supports our work in many ways, including speaking at events, developing and leading sessions at Alabama Water Rally, assisting community-based partners with organizational development, hosting fundraising events, and sharing their perspectives as part of our internal organizational growth.
The YPRD is facilitated by Dawn Lee, ARA Board Member and former Junior Board Co-Chair, and Victoria Miller, Director of Advocacy Research.
