Kosi shares her time as a Changemakers fellow, co-chairs the Nature-Based Education Consortium (NBEC) Climate Education Task Force, serves on the NBEC Steering Committee, and collaborates with the Maine Climate Table Intergen cohort. Kosi also advocates for policy and culture-based change in both her school and local communities by addressing her school district’s inequities. In her free time, Kosi loves to cook and bake for herself and for others.
