Welcome to Our New Headwaters Staff!
- June 14, 2023 -

We’re excited to welcome three new faces to the Headwaters team! Savannah, Courtney, and Devanie joined Headwaters over the past month and have jumped straight into programs and gotten to work getting to know Headwaters, our students, and the incredible work that we do!

If you’re lucky enough to have a camp or program with one of them, say hi! And come to our Celebrate Science event on July 15 where you’ll get a chance to meet many members of the Headwaters team in person!
