Sarah Grass: Administrative Coordinator

Sarah discovered her love for the natural world through a camera lens while studying photography and painting at Mount Allison University. Her work with non-profit organizations began in Red Deer, Alberta where from 2018-2021 she coordinated projects of the Sustainable Red Deer Society—“ReThink Red Deer”—including the Eco-Living Fair, the Piper Creek Restoration Agriculture Project, and the Common Ground Garden Project. Through these and many other grassroots collaborations, Sarah’s passion for nature grew to encompass an appreciation of the intersection of the environment and social justice.

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, Sarah sought to gain more experience in the social non-profit landscape. She joined the Bredin Centre for Career Advancement as Program Assistant and then as Career and Employment Coach, where she worked for 2 years supporting youth and newcomers in their job search.

A return to her hometown of Fredericton in 2024 has reunited Sarah with the landscapes of her youth. With a passion for protecting and restoring ecosystems, Sarah is thrilled to be a part of the East Coast Environmental Law team, to support the work of passionate and dedicated law professionals in working toward the vision of laws and legal systems that protect ecological health and promote environmental and climate justice in Atlantic Canada.
