Emily Goodwin’s interest in the nonprofit sector began at a very young age when she trained and volunteered with a nonprofit dance studio aimed at fundraising for community needs and creating positive opportunities for youth in her small town. After graduating with both a Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology from Crandall University and a Bachelor of Theology from Acadia University in 2019, Emily completed a Post-Degree Bachelor of Social Work at St. Thomas University in 2021.
She’s worked for two years with Phoenix Youth Programs, first in their shelter and most recently in program planning and facilitation, focusing on holistic youth development and recreation opportunities. This joy-filled work allows her to connect with youth and co-create opportunities for them to engage in their interests.
Emily loves working in Nova Scotia, which she calls home, and is thrilled that the MPNL program will allow her to do that while studying. The program will help her to continue to develop the skills needed to grow her work in this sector.
In her spare time, Emily loves music and spending time outdoors with friends and family. She sees life as one big adventure and finds ways to meaningfully celebrate with others every single day.
