Lauren Rendler

Lauren’s first time out of the country was last summer in the Dominican Republic, where she lived with a host family, facilitated summer courses for local youth about the environment, and worked with the community to set up a more efficient waste system. This is where she discovered her passions for working with children, environmental conservation, and enjoying the little things in life.
