In this Meet the Team episode of From the Lobby, we sit down with Lauren Voorhees, a University of Toronto grad stepping into her new role in NYC, bringing a mix of legal insight and global experience.

From working on justice reform to living across Europe, Lauren’s not just starting a job—she’s bringing a different lens to the work.

Here’s what we get into:

• ​The connection between political science and psychology and how it caught her attention
• ​Her nonprofit work providing equal justice to marginalized communities
• ​Funding challenges for nonprofits and what she has learn about creating buy-in for donors
• ​How living in Spain, Denmark, and Switzerland changed the way she thinks about government and problem-solving
• ​What she does to unwind outside of work and World Cup excitement in NYC

It’s a conversation about perspective, purpose, and what the next generation is bringing to the table. Give it a listen!
