Lauren Rendler

Lauren’s first time out of the country was last summer in the Dominican Republic, where she lived with a host family, facilitated summer courses for local youth about the environment, and worked with the community to set up a more efficient waste system. This is where she discovered her passions for working with children, environmental conservation, and enjoying the little things in life. She has been on the varsity track team for four years at her school and was also the President of the AMIGOS de las Americas club. Her goals for the year are to challenge herself in every way possible, to learn as much as she can through people and experiences, and to be more outspoken.
