Cara Corbin

Cara is a Community Program Coordinator for the Environmental Justice Thriving Communities Technical Assistance Center. Cara grew up in rural Northwest Arkansas in a region with limited economic opportunities, where many people hunted, fished, and gardened for subsistence. This impacted her interest in community resilience and informed her desire to pursue her masters in Sustainable Communities at NAU. She holds an undergraduate degree in Fine Arts.

Cara worked on organic vegetable and flower farms in Oregon, Arkansas and Portugal. She managed farmers’ markets in Arkansas, Texas, and Arizona. She led projects in energy literacy with the Institute for Sustainable Energy Solutions and Wind for Schools. She taught water conservation and rainwater catchment for Arizona Project WET and with City of Flagstaff Water Conservation. She was the owner and founder of Corbin Compost, a residential community composting venture. Cara is passionate about sustainability and loves running, gardening, and reading
