Board of Peers Profiles
Katie Callahan, Washington, DC
Katie Callahan joined the Board of Peers in the summer of 2006, after several years of working on ENGAGE projects in various capacities. She was a student on the Fall 2002 CIEE-Khon Kaen (Thailand) study abroad program, and stayed on in Thailand through the summer of 2003 working with the program as an ENGAGE Global Citizen. After returning to the United States, Katie helped launch the Fair Trade Jasmine Rice Campaign and was one of the coordinators for the Washington, DC leg of the 2005 Fair Trade Rice Farmer Tour. She is currently an ENGAGE Regional Coordinator for the Washington, DC area.
Katie graduated from the University of Oregon in 2004 with a B.A. in Comparative International Development. She moved to Washington, DC shortly after graduation for an internship opportunity and has been there ever since. Katie now works in the United States Senate on foreign affairs, immigration, human rights, and veterans issues.
Sarah Constantine, San Francisco, CA
Sarah Constantine joined the Board of Peers in 2004 while serving as an interim financial coordinator for ENGAGE. Since completing the Fall 2002 semester of the CIEE-Khon Kaen (Thailand) study abroad program, she has been involved in coordinating various events for ENGAGE, including the 2003 Farmer Tour activities in Boston, and the ENGAGE Annual Meetings in 2005 and 2006. Sarah became involved with ENGAGE because she feels that it is both a community and social advocacy model that challenges injustice in the status quo while offering compassionate and practical alternatives.
Sarah is currently participating in an ENGAGE working group that is working towards integrating more locally focused campaigns into ENGAGE’s work. In addition to her work with ENGAGE, she is involved with The Mosaic Project, a San Francisco Bay Area-based alternative education program that focuses on bridging the racial and socio-economic barriers between youth throughout the region.
Sarah works as a Youth Counselor at Larkin Street Youth Services, an agency that supports at-risk and formerly homeless youth in San Francisco. She graduated with a B.A. in Religion from Williams College in 2004, and has lived in San Francisco since then, working with various non-profit organizations that promote and advocate for social justice.
Enoka Herat, Baltimore, MD
Enoka Herat joined the Board of Peers in 2004, while serving as ENGAGE’s Internship Coordinator. A student on the Fall 2001 CIEE-Khon Kaen (Thailand) study abroad program, Enoka returned to Thailand as an ENGAGE Global Citizen. She was based in the northeast and lived with a family protesting against a potash (a potassium compound used in agricultural and other industries) mine affecting their community. Since returning to the United States, she has been an active ENGAGE member, helping to coordinate events in Washington, DC for the 2005 Fair Trade Rice Farmer Tour and managing the Grains of Change T-shirt fundraising initiative.
After graduating from Wesleyan University's College of Social Sciences, Enoka worked at non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in both Sri Lanka and Washington, DC. In Sri Lanka, she worked on a natural resource management project with fishermen in post-conflict areas, while in Washington, DC, she worked with the Bank Information Center and other NGOs to promote more transparency and accountability in international development. Enoka recently moved to Baltimore, MD, where she is beginning an Americorps position working with refugees at Advocates for Survivors of Torture and Trauma.
Kaia Peterson, Missoula, MT
As a founding member of ENGAGE, Kaia Peterson was involved in the earliest iterations of the organization while participating in the CIEE-Khon Kaen (Thailand) study abroad program in the Fall of 1999. She also served as a volunteer staff person for ENGAGE in 2003-2004, during which time she helped build connections around Fair Trade issues and coordinated two national ENGAGE meetings.
Kaia joined the Board of Peers in 2006. She is inspired by and committed to the focus ENGAGE brings to the relationships between community, environment, and economy and the mechanisms it provides to young people to contribute to social change.
Kaia graduated with a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Bates College in 2001 and holds an MBA from the University of Washington. As an MBA student, Kaia was involved in numerous projects related to sustainability and business, including serving as the president of the business school’s Net Impact Chapter, interning as a business plan consultant for the Colville Confederated Tribes, working as a communications and marketing intern with Pura Vida Coffee, serving as a Luce Fellow in the University’s Environmental Management Program with the City of Seattle Climate
Partnership and working with the Seattle-based firm Sustainable Business Consulting (formerly Innovative Strategies). Kaia now lives in Missoula, Montana where she is doing business and non-profit consulting.
Mandy Skinner
