About me
Lawrence is stoked to be part of the third FJC Fellowship cohort, working on wellness, belonging, and inclusion initiatives. Originally from Kansas City, he attended Ramah in the Rockies as a camper for several summers, completing Jewish Outdoor Leadership Institute (JOLI) in 2017. After coming back on staff, Lawrence led masa’ot (backcountry excursions) and worked in Packout, provisioning food and gear for masa’ot, before overseeing Packout in summer 2023. Lawrence followed his love of the mountains to the University of Colorado Boulder, graduating in the spring of 2023 with a Bachelor of Arts in both Environmental Studies and Geography. While there, he completed an honors thesis exploring the relationship between white supremacy and environmental education and how to improve access to environmental education for people of color. In his spare time, Lawrence loves hiking, listening to music of all types, and collecting Junior Ranger badges from National Park Service sites.
