Leadership is about service to the community. While the magic of our mentoring happens in the forest, there is a team of servant leaders that work behind the screens to bring the magic of our programs to kids and our communities. Those leaders work with parents, our staff team, board members, and elders to co-create the mission of Two Coyotes.

Maggie brings more than ten years of experience in nonprofit management to her role at Two Coyotes. She previously worked as an independent nonprofit consultant for community-based non profits and social enterprises in Bridgeport. She currently serves on the boards of Green Village Initiative and Bridgeport Generation Now, which strive for food justice and a healthy democracy in Bridgeport, CT, where she lives.
