The Polar Education Foundation is thrilled to announce the
opening of its New York office, marking a significant milestone
in the organization's work to empower youth and inspire change
for a sustainable future. The new office, strategically
located in Brooklyn, will serve as a hub for relationship
building, fostering partnerships, and expanding the
Foundation’s efforts across the United States.
At the helm of this expansion is Tammy Quinn, the newly
appointed Executive Director of the Polar Education
Foundation. Formerly Chief of Staff at the Students on Ice
(SOI) Foundation, Tammy is committed to experiential education,
youth engagement, and sustainability, making her the ideal
leader to drive the Polar Education Foundation’s initiatives
forward.
"This is an exciting moment for the Polar Education Foundation
and I am thrilled to have Tammy leading our efforts as we
embark on a new chapter of growth and impact," said founder
Geoff Green.
"Our New York office serves as a catalyst for forging meaningful
partnerships, connecting with leaders and organizations, and
amplifying our efforts to educate and inspire the next
generation of environmental leaders," said Tammy Quinn.
The New York office opening coincides with an upcoming event on
May 23 at the Canadian Consul General's residence, where Geoff
Green will be in attendance to speak with partners about the
latest developments in polar education and conservation
initiatives. The event will be followed by an alumni meetup for
past expedition participants, further emphasizing the
Foundation’s ongoing commitment to supporting youth on their
life journeys, fostering collaboration, and community
engagement.
The Polar Education Foundation's footprint in New York
represents a strategic move to broaden its network of donors,
supporters, and partners both in the US and internationally.
Through innovative educational programs, impactful initiatives,
and strategic partnerships, the Polar Education Foundation is
dedicated to fostering a sustainable future for generations to
come.
