Green Innovator Community Coordinator
Academic year 2027
The Yale & Friends Green Innovator community was started to facilitate connections among students, alumni, and community entrepreneurs via community events, a newsletter, and the creation and management of a LinkedIn group. The aim is to provide a space for conversation, inspiration, and the exchange of ideas and opportunities not just among innovators at Yale but also among the wider New Haven community. Coordinators host discussion groups, mixers, and outings to relevant climate innovation events on campus, in New Haven, and beyond.
