Today's guest:

August M. Ball is the founder of Cream City Conservation. Her two-prong social enterprise helps organizations attract diverse candidate pools and institute strategies that attract and retain top talent, making their workforce stronger and smarter and their programs more sustainable and relevant. Simultaneously, Cream City Conservation Corps cultivates the next generation of land stewards by introducing and training traditionally underrepresented teens and young adults in ecological careers.

With over 15 years of youth program management experience and 10 years of supporting local and national organizations, including appointments to WI Governor Ever’s Climate Action Taskforce and the Milwaukee City & County Climate & Economic Equity Taskforces, August has connected thousands of youth and young adults to hands-on service to public lands, outdoor recreation and first time employment experiences in various ecological fields.

August received her formal education from UW-Parkside and UW-Milwaukee, having studied Sociology, Community Education and Non-Profit Management.  She has also continued her education informally via organizations such as Center for Diversity in the Environment, Paradigm and the National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS)

A native of Southeastern Wisconsin but citizen of the world, speaking three languages (Visayan pronounced “vee-sai-yan”, Tagalog pronounced “tuh-gah-log” – Filipino dialects, and English), when she is not teaching, August enjoys being a lifelong student and world traveler.
