Megan Voorhees has dedicated her career to supporting individuals, organizations and communities to develop the skills and experience they need to thrive. She has designed and led high-impact educational programs for over thirty years, including over 20 cohort programs that supported participants in learning the skills to be effective leaders and to successfully navigate life and career transitions. During her career, she served as the Director of Experiential Education and Graduate Programs for the Institute on the Environment at the University of Minnesota and was the Director of the Public Service Center at the University of California, Berkeley.
Megan currently has a “portfolio” career that allows her flexibility for increasing elder care while also supporting her two young adult children. She currently teaches the UMN Midlife Academy’s successful Cultivating Purpose courses. She is the part-time executive director of the Upper Midwest Association for Campus Sustainability, works as a life coach and organizational consultant and also teaches a course on midlife for Sarah Lawrence College.
Megan cultivates daily purpose in her life through work that she hopes will have a positive impact on people and the planet, her family, gardening, reading and music that inspires dancing.
