Gaby Rivarde, Youth Programs Manager

Gaby is excited to help uplift the voices of young people in our community, especially those whose voices often go unheard. In line with Audubon's strategic vision, Gaby will center youth first by creating inclusive and accessible programs that serve young people and their communities. Gaby’s background in Environmental Education drives her passion to support youths in building a sense of place and belonging, as they learn lessons from the natural world: our oldest teacher. Her experiences include work in developing programs such as teen conservation initiatives, wildlife rehabilitation, youth bird-watching tours, ocean conservation, and bird monitoring, in places that range from the Gulf Coast to the Samoan Islands.
