David Hewitt describes his experience as our Community Science and Chapter Engagement AmeriCorps Member.
About
David’s love for the natural world was initially spurred by the Science and Nature Program at the American Museum of Natural History in New York and growing up adjacent to the trails of the 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú Society in Fairfield, Connecticut. When he was a junior in high school, he received the James Lowenstein Scholarship to attend the Conserve School, an environmental semester program in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. This experience was transformative and strengthened his resolve to learn more about biodiversity. A 2020 graduate of Hobart William Smith College, he majored in Environmental Studies and minored in Public Policy. David is an avid sailor and has taught summer programs, coached a high school team and been the director of a non-profit sailing program for the past three years. He looks forward to serving with 51ÁÔÆæÈë¿Ú Vermont as their Community Science and Chapter Engagement AmeriCorps Member.
